The purpose of current study is to determine methods employed to classifying and quantifying of
potential squeezing in tunnel. Along with the empirical and semi-empirical approaches presently
available in order to anticipate the potential of squeezing tunnel problems moreover squeezing
potential evaluation of padang renas tunnel which is located in tropical area (Malaysia) are presented.
Squeezing cause to deformed the tunnels cross section and wastes a lot of human and natural source in
all of the word every year. The results show that some part of case-study tunnel has potential of
squeezing. The implications of the anticipated ground conditions and squeezing on machine and
ground support selection as well as the field observation of the actual conditions are discussed in this
paper. Designing tunnels and subway stations are usually based on underground investigations. More broadly, the paper includes implications for the development of tunnels and underground designing also designers need to determine standards and codes for squeezing phenomenon
