A computer program was developed to design the new tunneling method using bolts and shotcrete. That is based on non-linear viscoelastic finit element method and can calculate the stress and displacement in relation to excavation process or to time lapse and has another many functions necessary to design tunnel. the studies about input parameter in the program have been made comparing the measured and the calculated values of 12 tunnels.
