The application of the newly developed computer code for analyzing 3-D maximum key blocks from joint traces on tunnel surfaces are illustrated by two practical examples. The codes was developed to improve the practical application of key block theory. It includes the computation of maximum key blocks by using hypothetical joints generated from statistical data and actual joint traces mapped in the field. Based on the results of this study, the code appears rational and practical. However, further development in the measuring techniques for obtaining the actual joint information in the field may be required
