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.

Fluid‐induced slip on a rate‐and‐state fault during co‐ and post‐injection: The interplay of fluid pressure diffusion and poroelastic stress

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Fault slip can occur ahead of the injection pressure front due to poroelastic stress. Our model captures the interaction of pressure, stress, and friction, providing new insights into injection‐induced seismicity and post‐injection fault slip. Shut‐in operations can either mitigate or accelerate seismic events depending on fault conditions and ...

Uniaxial compressive strength prediction and ratio parameter optimization of titanium tailings composite backfill materials using intelligent hybrid models

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on the 90 datasets, ERT and four optimization algorithms were used to build four hybrid models to predict the UCS of the backfill body. The SMA‐ERT model was the most effective model, and it can reliably guide the design of the backfill ratio parameters. Abstract This study analyzed the feasibility of using titanium (Ti) tailings as a backfilling

Numerical simulation study on the characteristics and propagation attenuation of vibration signals in freezing pipe fracture

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This research study employs analysis system (ANSYS) fluid–structure interaction simulations to investigate the generation and attenuation of vibration signals resulting from freezing pipe fractures in artificial ground freezing projects. By evaluating key variables—including frozen soil elastic modulus, brine inlet pressure, and external pipe pressure ...

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 ...

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

Rock mechanical properties under reconstructed deep in situ thermo–hydro–mechanical conditions: Implications for CO₂‐related injection scenarios

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates a reconstructed in situ thermo‐hydro‐mechanical (THM) framework in which porosity serves as the central variable linking stress, pore pressure, and temperature to evolving mechanical properties of rocks. Under burial conditions, in situ stress, pore pressure, and temperature jointly govern volumetric strain and ...
