Probability prediction of true‐triaxial compressive strength of intact rocks based on the improved PSO‐RVM model

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this work, we propose an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and develop an improved PSO‐relevance vector machine (RVM) model as a substitute for traditional true‐triaxial testing. The model's high prediction accuracy was validated through comparisons with two other machine learning methods and five three‐dimensional Hoek–Brown type

Study on the failure mechanism of the shield excavation face in the sandy cobble stratum under different buried depths

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract One of the significant challenges faced in shield tunnel construction is the risk of collapse resulting from abrupt changes in soil conditions in advance of the working face, particularly within the sandy cobble stratum. This study aims to effectively manage these sudden variations and to further investigate the failure mechanisms associated ...

Innovative Seismic Response-Controlled System with Shear Wall and Concentrated Dampers in Lower Stories

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2017
A new structural control system using damper-installed shear walls in lower stories with reduced stiffness is proposed for vibration control of high-rise RC buildings. That system has some design variables, i.e., height of shear wall, degree of stiffness

Resonance‐induced restoration of rock permeability degraded by heavy components of crude oil

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Resonance‐induced changes occur in filtration properties of sedimentary rocks in crude paraffin oil flow under acoustic vibrations. Experimental data on (a) pressure drop; (b) permeability; (c) pressure at the rock inlet; and (d) pressure at the rock outlet are presented.

Critical Steady-State Response of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Bilinear Hysteretic System under Multi Impulse as Substitute of Long-Duration Ground Motion

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2017
A set of multiple impulses is introduced as a substitute of many-cycle harmonic waves which represent the long-duration earthquake ground motion. A closed-form expression is derived of the elastic–plastic response of a single-degree-of-freedom structure ...

Failure characteristics and the energy criterion of rock with a through‐going joint under true‐triaxial unloading conditions: Insights from the DEM model

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The rock failure mode is significantly influenced by the contributing factors, such as the joint inclination, the initial confining pressure, and the unloading point. We found six typical rock failure modes after a large number of numerical tests. Abstract Excavation unloading damages rock masses, with preferential failure along geological defects in ...
