Polish National Standards for underground excavation support design outline the deformational pressure model for assessing loads acting on the support systems of deep underground excavations. They distinguish two different rock mass models, highlighting the pivotal role of the critical longitudinal strain of the rock mass in appropriate model selection. A comparison between the design method given by Polish Standards and the widely recognized convergence–confinement method, consisting of a ground reaction curve (GRC), longitudinal displacement profile (LDP), and support characteristics curve (SCC), reveals the advantages of the latter in capturing the three-dimensional nature of underground excavations. The following study presents a method for establishing a GRC curve for the elasto-plasto-fractured rock mass model, featured in Polish Standards, demonstrating its applicability through analyses of a typical circular roadway under varying rock mass conditions. Practical implications are discussed, including the design of yielding steel arches as the primary support system and the calculation of safety factors for both the support system and the surrounding rock mass, considered as a natural support component. Overall, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the actions of rock masses in the vicinity of excavations located at great depths. Furthermore, it provides practical insights for engineering applications. Full article
