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 ...

Rockburst prediction based on data preprocessing and hyperband‐RNN‐DNN

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A data preprocessing workflow is proposed to address challenges in rockburst data analysis. Coupled algorithms preprocess the data set, and hyperband optimization is used to enhance RNN performance. Results show that preprocessing improves accuracy, while dense layers enhance model stability and prediction performance.

Earthquake risk buildings

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1981
The seismic provisions of the New Zealand Loadings Code are regarded as providing an acceptably low risk to life and property. However, the majority of existing buildings do not meet these requirements, some to a disturbing degree.
 The paper describes a selection of buildings both pre- and post- 1935 which were assessed by the authors' firm for ...

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 ...

Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...

Risk communication and earthquake psychology: a research on earthquake news

Vivat Academia
Introduction: Risk communication is an inseparable part of any immediate reply. Earthquakes are complicated emergencies that exacerbate issues with risk communication and highlight these issues for scientists to communicate about. Turkey is vulnerable to various natural disasters, including earthquakes, floods, landslides, and thunderstorms, due to its

Study on fracture parameter calibration and failure characteristics of rock with hole and crack

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The SIF and plastic zone equations for a single hole and crack have been derived. The model's failure state leads to the identification of four types of cracks. The plastic zone increases with increased brittleness and decreased crack length. Abstract Cracks within the surrounding rock of roadways significantly affect their stability and failure ...

Experimental study on burning rate and flame geometry in construction tunnel fires under high geothermal conditions

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract As tunnel construction advances in lengths and depths, the construction of tunnels in high geothermal environments has become increasingly common, raising significant fire risks. In this study, a 1:20 scale model tunnel test platform was constructed to investigate the effects of a high geothermal environment on fire behavior in tunnels during ...
