Tunnel Face Stability

Tunnel Face Stability is the structural integrity and resistance to collapse of the advancing excavation surface in a tunnel, distinguishing it from other aspects of tunnel stability by focusing specifically on the equilibrium of earth and rock pressures at the working face during construction.
