heal.abstract	The circular sprayed tunnel linings, fabricated from plain and fiber-reinforced sprayed concrete, were analyzed using finite element analysis package. It was observed that the effect of main and/or fiber reinforcement on the performance of a sprayed concrete tunnel lining depends largely on the loading condition. the effect of main reinforcement inserted into the plain sprayed concrete tunnel is much more modest, but these bars become more telling when fiber are also present. It was also observed that one type of loading cannot be replaced by the other. It is suggested that both types of reinforcement should be included in the structure for optimum in ultimate behavior.	en
