AbstractThis study here presented the prediction of the transient groundwater inflow into tunnel by using Perrochet and Dematteis (2007) method and Hwang and Lu (2007) method. These two methods applied in the three real case tunnels which are Modane exploratory tunnel from French Western Alps and New Yunchung tunnel and Hsueshan tunnel from Taiwan. These two analytical methods are simulated by using MatLab program (Matrix Laboratory). According to simulated results from two methods, Method 1 (Perrochet and Dematteis (2007) gave the most suitable and accurate result to predict the water inflow into tunnel. Method 1 is mostly based on the hydro-geological data and drill data which collected during excavation of the tunnel. Method 2 also can use in simulation of groundwater inflow into tunnel but the result only depend on the hydro-geological data. However, in the case of two methods, it needs to consider about preliminary or primary grouting and sealing the fractured and faulted zone before interpreting the simulation results
