ABSTRACT: This paper reviews the accepted practice and discusses some lessons learned regarding the design, analysis, construction and observation of tunnels and deep shafts in soils. Some general reflections are presented based on specific experiences related to actual tunnels and shafts built in Mexico Basin.
