Numerical research on anti‐dislocation measures design of deep‐buried tunnels in an anisotropic rock mass area

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper conducts a numerical simulation study on the construction of a deep‐buried tunnel in an anisotropic stratum area. A statistical analysis of the effects of two anti‐faulting design measures, namely, a conventional design and an articulated design, is carried out, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the anti‐faulting structures ...

Probabilistic characterization of seepage‐induced tunnel face failure via a two‐phase double‐point material point method

Deep 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 ...

Numerical investigation of natural fracture activation and leakage risk during CO2 sequestration in depleted sandstone reservoirs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates the hydro‐mechanical response and fracture evolution in depleted sandstone reservoirs during CO2 injection, considering both direct wellbore injection and hydraulic‐fracture‐assisted injection. The graphical abstract illustrates how CO2 injection induces dynamic stress redistribution, leading to natural fracture activation ...

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

Deep 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.

Energy evolution‐based damage quantification and failure prediction of fault zone tunnel lining concrete: A novel acoustic emission–strain energy coupling approach

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates the damage evolution and failure mechanisms of tunnel lining concrete in active fault zones through uniaxial compression tests integrated with acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. A strong linear correlation is identified between the AE cumulative absolute energy and the total strain energy, providing a reliable energy‐based ...

Analysis of lining force transmission coefficient and surrounding rock displacement in lined rock caverns for underground gas storage

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study derives an explicit expression for the lining force transmission coefficient of underground gas storage lined rock caverns (LRCs) via the complex variable function method, considering the displacement release coefficient. Taking the 1‰ tensile strain of surrounding rock as the criterion to determine lining thickness, it systematically ...

Crustal fault reactivation facilitating lithospheric folding/buckling in the central Indian Ocean

, 1996
High-quality, normal-incidence seismic reflection data confirm that tectonic deformation in the central Indian Ocean occurs at two spatial scales: whole lithosphere folding with wavelengths varying between 100 and 300 km, and compressional reactivation ...
