Abstract
Observational execution method with digitalized monitoring system was conducted in a large-scale vertical excavation of rock foundation composed of andesite and tuff-breccia of the Neogene Tertiary. The outcomes resulted from the real behavior by the reverse analysis and another analytical method show some important information for the design and execution of the excavation of the rock mass. For example there exists different deformation behavior between vertical and horizontal or between loading and unloading.
