Abstract
Geotechnical engineering in large scale is endangered by the karst areas which are close to the engineering. The stability of the tunnels is greatly affected by the sizes and locations of the karst caves. Based on a engineering example, a study of the effects of karst area beneath the tunnel on the stability of surrounding rock is conducted. It can be concluded that the displacement release of surrounding rocks and the distribution of the vertical stress in surrounding rocks are greatly affected by the sizes of the karst caves and the distance between the tunnel floor and the karst cave.
