Abstract: As an important part of the generalized geological field，there are many common attributes between the process of underground mining tunnel excavation or maintenance and other underground space development or utilization directly in geotechnical engineering. Based on the comprehensive summing up the relationship between mining engineering and other geotechnical engineering，the use form and classification of underground engineering，the general relationship between underground mining tunnel and underground space of other geotechnical engineering，from the medium of excavation and maintenance，the mutual relationship of supporting structure and surrounding rock，the three kinds of factors about the project stability are systematically discussed. Meanwhile，the important meaning of the technical reference between the mining engineering and other geotechnical engineering is explicitly pointed out.

Key words: Mining engineering, Underground engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Tunnel
