      Tunnels which improve road transport in our country, as in the whole world work out for us in numerous fields. Tunneling method is one of the construction method applied to the present from the past. It has also become an indispensable engineering structure with the developing technology and advanced construction method.

      Supporting systems of the tunnel are designed by considering the maximum and minimum forces and moments that will occur in the critical sections. These values are taken from the geological and geotechnical reports. These stresses have been met with steel reinforced shotcrete. In this study, these stresses were met by using synthetic fiber instead of mesh reinforcement and synthetic fiber to be used instead of steel mesh has been investigated. Since there are different forces and moments along the route, critical sections were examined and adequate strength was obtained by applying the optimum amounts of synthetic fibers to B1, B2, B3 soil classes. In case of determining the dosage of synthetic fiber reinforcement which can meet the cross-sectional effects in shotcrete in suitable ground classes, it is concluded that cross-sectional effects which may occur in shotcrete without mesh reinforcement are met by synthetic fiber reinforcement.
