Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

Upper bound limit analysis of coral reef limestone cavern roof stability incorporating a tension‐shear failure mechanism with tensile‐strength cut‐off

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
For the roof of coral reef limestone caverns, a novel tension‐shear composite failure mechanism was developed. The most critical tensile crack model was identified using a hybrid optimization algorithm, and the stability of the cavern roof was analyzed accordingly.

Soil Improvement of EPBS Construction in High Water Pressure and High Permeability Sand Stratum

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019
A mud-water balance shield is the preferred method for the high permeability and high water pressure stratum, but when restricted by construction and environmental conditions, the shield must be constructed with the earth pressure balance shield (EPBS ...

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

Deep 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 ...

A Deep Learning-Driven Framework for Real-Time Recognition and Quantification of Subway Tunnel Surface Defects Using High-Resolution Imaging

Urban Rail Transit
Subway tunnels, with their complex underground environment, frequently develop surface defects like cracks and water leakage over time. Traditional manual inspection methods are inadequate for current accuracy and efficiency needs.

Probabilistic prediction of rate‐dependent rock strength using natural gradient boosting and Gaussian process regression

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Probabilistic natural gradient boosting and Gaussian process regression models accurately predict rate‐dependent rock strength across lithologies. Static strength and strain rate dominate, while geometric factors have minimal influence, enabling interpretable and uncertainty‐aware predictions for dynamic geomechanical applications. Abstract The dynamic

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

Deep 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 ...

Predictive Modeling of Surface Subsidence Considering Different Environmental Risk Zones

Advances in Civil Engineering
Insufficient knowledge and control of the surrounding environmental risks in the process of subway tunnel construction will lead to different degrees of surface settlement during construction, and it is of practical significance to grasp the impact of ...

Exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model for quantifying vertical development of water‐conducting fracture zones in lithologically stratified mining roofs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes an exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model (EcGMM) to quantify vertical fracture heterogeneity in stratified roof strata. The model integrates a piecewise exponential decay term capturing global stress dissipation with Gaussian components representing localized fracture intensification at lithological interfaces.
