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 ...

Damage modeling of CO2 injection well interfaces under coupled thermal, hydraulic and mechanical behavior

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper presents an investigation of CO2 injection well damage evolution considering different injection temperatures and the presence of a pre‐existing defect. The main outcome is that the accurate prediction of well leakage risk requires characteristics such as initial defects to be understood and represented in any modeling efforts. Abstract This

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.
