umbrella-arch
In the mining context, the term "umbrella-arch" is used and the Umbrella Arch Method (UAM) is described as being a very powerful tunneling tool which can be used to excavate. Below is a definition of this method:
"Umbrella Arch Method (UAM) is commonly used in tunnel design in order to reinforce the ground around tunnel and stabilize the tunnel face."
"Umbrella Arch Method (UAM) is commonly used in tunnel design in order to reinforce the ground around tunnel and stabilize the tunnel face."

arched back
umbrella vault is an architectural term, I think I would say arched back in a mining context, the idea being the same in both cases: arched roofs are stronger than flat ones, and they are mining in bad ground.

This (aka "tubes préforés") involves drilling horizontal/subhorizontal holes ahead of the face of the adit/tunnel, along the line of the roof (usually arched), and installing steel pipes in them which may be mechanically anchored or grouted into place, then excavating beneath them. They therefore serve to consolidate the roof the excavation pre-excavation.
From my notes: a variety of terms gleaned from the literature (Tunnels&Tunnelling International, Civil Engineering International, ICE Proceedings on the Channel Tunnel, etc.) over the years, take your pick:
Tubes préforés Ou voûte parapluie q.v. Forepoling (steel), spiling ("reinforcing rods form a canopy to stabilize the crown", CW,1.9.93,p11) [TTI,9.99,p.7], pipe injection protection shield [TTI,11/98,p.35], spile bars [TTI,5/99,p.21,64], spile pins [CEi,4/2000,p.14], canopy of interlocking steel pipes [TTI,12/99,p.33], canopy tubes [TTI,2/00,p.8]

Ce type de pré-soutènement peut se rencontrer sous 3 formes particulières :
§ L'enfilage en calotte :
Il consiste à mettre en place des barres ou des plaques d'acier longitudinales, à la périphérie du front de taille, le plus souvent sur le tiers ou le quart supérieur de la circonférence.
Ü L'objectif de l'enfilage est d'assurer la sécurité immédiate de l'excavation avant la pose du soutènement.
