Abstract: A shallow buried tunnel is situated in a laterally inclined rock mass. The ground subsidence induced by the tunnel construction is evaluated based on different ground inclination angles: no inclination, 1V:20 H; 1:V:10H and 1V:8H. The double tunnel length has a fixed 10 meters in Class V rock masses. The settlement characteristics of different inclination angle have been evaluated in this paper.
