Random finite element analysis on ground subsidence caused by tunnel excavation in karst regions with spatial variable soil

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates ground subsidence during tunnel excavation in karst areas, highlighting the combined effects of karst cave proximity, cave size, and soil spatial variability. Findings suggest that shorter cave distances and larger cave sizes increase subsidence variability, and a modified Peck formula is proposed for more accurate subsidence ...

Permeability of granite from a shallow buried mountain pipe gallery tunnel under unloading confining pressure

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Triaxial compression tests under unloading confining pressure conditions were conducted to systematically analyze the permeability behavior of granite retrieved from the different classification surrounding rocks. Abstract The rock mass within mountain tunnels undergoes complex changes in permeability, strength, and deformation during tunneling ...

Real‐time lithology identification while drilling based on drill cuttings image analysis with ensemble learning

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A lithology identification while drilling method was developed, integrating an automated cuttings sampling system, a smart drilling rig, and an ensemble learning model. Underground trials achieved 97.42% accuracy in real‐time identification of cuttings lithology and composition, enhancing hazard management and supporting unmanned drilling technology in

Detrital zircon and apatite (U‐Th)/He geochronology of intercalated baked sediments: a new approach to dating young basalt flows [PDF]

, 2011
Simple numerical models suggest that many basaltic lava flows should sufficiently heat the sediments beneath them to reset (U‐Th)/He systematics in detrital zircon and apatite.

The damage and failure mechanism of prestatically loaded rock during medium‐strain rate cyclic impact loading

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on experimental results and theoretical analysis, an established rock damage accumulation model that comprehensively considers the preapplied static load, impact peak value, impact frequency, and impact times. Abstract To study the rock damage mechanism under high static loading and superimposed medium strain rate cyclic impact loading, a series ...

Critical expansion points: Mechanical signs of surrounding rock instability

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes the Rock Bearing‐Expansion Model (RockBEM) with critical expansion points (CEPs) to quantify post‐peak damage stages in deep‐buried rock masses via plane strain compression test (PSCT). CEP hysteresis&interval ratios reveal bearing performance dynamics and failure severity, advancing mechanistic insights into deep underground rock ...

The Geology as an indispensable tool for optimizing the exploration of dimension Stones [PDF]

, 2012
Like any Geological Resource, the Dimension Stones can only be exploited where they occur. How they occur is a reflection of geological history that presided over its formation.
