Title:
Abstract:	The Institute of Rock Mechanics and Tunnelling at the Graz University of Technology was founded in 1992. From the beginning, the primary focus of research and development was on Alpine tunnelling and slope stability issues, considering geological conditions and their impact on construction. The aim was to improve the current practice, as well as to reduce uncertainties. The research areas can be roughly grouped into rock mass characterization, improvement of monitoring data interpretation, ground behaviour assessment, as well as development and improvement of support elements. The research is documented in about 110 master theses and 30 doctoral theses, and approximately 350 papers. Das Institut für Felsmechanik und Tunnelbau der Technischen Universität Graz wurde 1992 gegründet. Von Beginn an lag der Schwerpunkt der Entwicklung und Forschung auf dem Gebiet des alpinen Tunnelbaus und der Hangstabilität unter Berücksichtigung der geologischen Verhältnisse und der Auswirkungen auf den Bau. Ziel war, die gängige Praxis zu verbessern und die Unsicherheiten zu reduzieren. Die Forschungsgebiete können grob in die Bereiche Gebirgscharakterisierung, Verbesserung der Methoden der Messdateninterpretation, Gebirgsverhalten sowie Entwicklung und Verbesserung von Stützmitteln unterteilt werden. Die Ergebnisse sind in rund 110 Diplom- und Masterarbeiten sowie etwa 30 Dissertationen und 350 Artikeln dokumentiert.
