The Underground Research Laboratory in Hokkaido has been constructed by JAEA. In shaft excavation, convergence, lining stress, etc. are measured and analyzed in order to evaluate the validity of a support design. In this report, correlation between initial deformation ratio of convergence and lining stress in shaft excavation is discussed. Prediction equation of the lining stress from the initial deformation ratio of convergence in the short step method is also proposed.
