The Croatian experience in the Use of the Interactive Design Method

Croatian experience in the application of the Observational Method in geotechnical design and construction is presented through several case histories. Presented case histories included a motorway tunnel and several large excavations, mainly in weathered rock and hard soils. A more conservative initial design is proposed as opposed to the design based on most probable ground conditions, as usually advocated.
