Seismic analysis and design of tunnels within fault ground: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The research methods of seismic response of tunnels within fault ground, including field investigations, analytical solutions, physical experiments, and numerical simulations, and seismic countermeasures are discussed. The present study examines the shortcomings and limitations of the current research and design, and puts forward proposals for future ...

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

Investigation on tunnel stability considering pipe‐roof support with transparent soil technology

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates transparent soil technology, 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation to captures the full‐field deformation of shield tunnel instability. Results demonstrate that pipe‐roof support enhances stability via the “soil‐arching barrier effect,” effectively restraining failure wedge development by extending stress transfer paths ...

Mechanism of “seesaw‐type” rock burst in coal seam mining beneath mountainous areas

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study reveals the mechanism of “seesaw‐type” rock bursts during coal mining beneath mountainous areas. The advancing working face induces nonuniform fracturing of the overburden. The detached mountain mass then undergoes a seesaw‐type rotational movement around a shifting pivot, driving the primary fracture through a characteristic “open‐close ...

Probabilistic characterization of seepage‐induced tunnel face failure via a two‐phase double‐point material point method

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
To address seepage‐induced tunnel face collapse, this study develops a two‐phase double‐point MPM framework to capture large‐deformation hydro‐mechanical interactions. Incorporating a cementation‐based constitutive model with dynamic permeability updates, the model is successfully validated against saturated granular‐column collapse experiments ...

Reusing depleted oil and gas wells for geothermal energy: Feasibility, challenges, and a decision‐making framework for sustainable conversion

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract presents a structured decision‐support framework for assessing the feasibility of converting depleted oil and gas wells into geothermal energy systems. The left panel illustrates a comprehensive, multi‐stage decision‐making framework progressing from prefeasibility screening and technical–economic analysis to policy alignment ...

Bio‐based tannin‐loaded layered double hydroxides in epoxy coatings for smart corrosion protection of steel in underground infrastructure

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study presents a sustainable smart‐coating strategy for protecting underground steel infrastructures from chloride‐induced corrosion. Zinc‐aluminum layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and tannin‐loaded LDHs (LDH–TA) were incorporated into an epoxy matrix to provide both enhanced barrier properties and active, pH‐responsive inhibition.

Butterfly abundances but not patch occupancy buffered by vegetation heterogeneity during climatic extremes

Ecography, EarlyView.
As extreme climatic events are becoming more frequent, we need to understand what mechanisms could buffer populations to ensure their persistence. Fragmented populations may be especially vulnerable, as exemplified by species with metapopulation dynamics whose persistence is determined by a precarious balance between frequent local extinctions and ...
