    Design Concepts And Support Considerations For Highly Stressed Tunnels In Deep Hard-Rock Mines

    By C. R. Speers, M. I. Forsyth

    The paper describes how stress analyses were used to show the defect of a tunnel's shape on the overstressing potential of its periphery. The best profile was found to be that of a horizontal ell
