Despite the recent improvement in tunnel excavation technique, Tunnel collapse accidents still happen. This paper was studied the forms and the cause of collapse in different geological conditions and presented the ground reinforcement technique by investigating typical collapse sites during excavation in mountain tunnel. The summary of reinforcement solutions for this collapse zone is following. Pre-cement grouting, Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete(ALC) and of Umbrella Arch Method(UAM), steel rib were applied for the locations where the collapse was occured. In this paper, the effects of reinforcement methods as tunnel collapse were numerically analyzed and compare with measured results. As a result it was identified that the UAM method may be effective to reinforcement especially when there are some fractured zones developed in the face of tunnel.
