Tunnel and underground cavern constructions are gradually increasing because of the development and upgradation of infrastructures such as highway, subway, railway, and hydropower stations. The extensive underground construction works for the hydropower industry gradually lead to a general interest in the use of the underground. Most tunnels and underground caverns are excavated either by using drilling and blasting or by using tunnel excavation machines such as tunneling boring machine (TBM) or shield. The new Austrian tunneling method (NATM) is one of the most frequently used tunneling methods, and it uses drilling and blasting to excavate a tunnel in rock. One of the most important and commonly met problems in underground engineering concerns the assessment of stability of underground caverns according to the displacements measured during the excavation works and the stress distribution simulated by using finite element method. In-situ measurements are nowadays frequently carried out during the excavation of large-scale caverns in order to monitor the stability of the openings. A great variety of excavation technology has been developed, which employ different methods to reinforce and support the excavation face. Tezuka [1] discussed the latest technology of underground rock cavern excavation in Japan. The technologies proposed in the paper have some unique characteristics and can be applied to various other underground uses for different purposes and applied to large-scale underground rock caverns with different geological and in-situ stress analysis. Eberhardt [2] investigated the numerical modeling of three-dimensional stress rotation ahead of an advancing tunnel face. The research results demonstrated that as the tunnel face approaches and passes through a unit volume of rock, the spatial and temporal evolution of the three-dimensional stress field encompasses a series of deviatoric stress increases and/or decreases, as well as several rotations of the principal stress axes. Karakus [3] simulated a sequential excavation model of underground tunnel by using ABAQUS software, and a number of finite element methods were conducted to investigate the effects of different patterns for advancing the tunnel face on the settlement. Hao [4] researched the plastic zones and displacements around underground openings in rock masses containing a fault. The relationship between the induced plastic zones and maximum displacements varying with these fault parameters was established. Farias [5] analyzed displacement control in tunnels excavated by the NATM. Induced displacement is empirically controlled by adjusting the speed of excavation, distance between tunnel face and support, partial-face excavation, and closure of invert. Goela [6] carried out a parametric study using the numerical analysis code FLAC-3D to obtain the influence of various shapes of underground openings on the maximum induced boundary stress. Five shapes—viz. circular, horseshoe, rectangular, elongated D-shape, and elliptical—have been considered. For each shape, four tunnel depths and five horizontal in-situ stress models have been taken for the study of induced boundary stresses. Golshani [7] developed the micromechanics-based damage model so that time-dependent behavior of brittle material can be taken into account, with special attention to the numerical analysis of an excavation damaged zone (EDZ) around an opening, which is a major concern in assessing
