Mechanistic insights across curing regimes for enzymatic and biopolymer‐optimized reinforcement in rock masses

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines the effects of curing temperature on the mechanical behavior of underground rock masses treated with enzyme‐induced calcite precipitation (EICP) and an innovative biopolymer‐modified EICP (BP‐EICP). Abstract Biocementation is an innovative and sustainable technique for reinforcing weak and weathered rock masses in natural and ...

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

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

open access: yesDeep 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 ...

Helical Piles Embedded in Expansive Soil Overlaying Sandy Soil

open access: yesAl-Khawarizmi Engineering Journal, 2017
In this study, the behavior of square helical piles models (5×5) mm2 embedded in expansive soil bed overlaying a layer of sandy soil was investigated. The sand layer 200mm thickness was compacted into four sub layers in a steel container with diameter ...

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

open access: yesDeep 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

open access: yesDeep 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 ...

Investigation on the mechanical behavior of the multiple‐layered lining structure of a water conveyance tunnel with high internal water pressure

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study presents large‐scale similarity model testing (geometric ratio 3.6) of an innovative multiple‐layered lining system—comprising exterior precast segments, middle self‐compacting concrete, and an interior steel pipe—for high‐pressure (0.75 MPa) water conveyance tunnels.
