Different damage observed in the villages of Pescara del Tronto and Vezzano after the M6.0 August 24, 2016 central Italy earthquake and site effects analysis

Annals of Geophysics, 2017
The authors have surveyed many damaged villages located at the epicentre of the ML=6.0 earthquake which occurred on August 24, 2016 in central Italy. Some unexpected anomalies were discovered such as very different levels of damage in Vezzano and Pescara

Numerical investigation of the correlations of hydraulic and elastic characteristics in diverse carbonate rock types

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
We use the linear Boolean model and the discrete Fourier transformation approach to generate various carbonate rocks. The lattice Boltzmann method and the finite element method are applied to calculate permeability and elastic wave velocity, respectively.

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 ...

Investigation of the failure characteristics of fissure tunnels under dynamic and static combinations

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This article aims to investigate the dynamic fracture response of fractured tunnel models under zero geological stress through physical experiments and numerical simulations. It further simulates the dynamic fracture characteristics of fractured tunnel models under geological stress ranging from 0 to 2.5 MPa using the numerical software AUTODYN ...

Data‐driven analysis of the spatial dependence of grouting efficiency during tunnel excavation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Prediction of grouting efficiency using machine learning is enhanced by adopting a training strategy that accounts for the grouting process across multiple rounds. Abstract Grouting with water–cement mixtures is the most widely used and cost‐effective method for managing excess water inflow during tunnel construction.
