Abstract: Seepage is a major concern during the construction of a riverside tunnel, because the seepage may cause both hydraulic and mechanical problems. At present, there are some well-accepted methods combining the hydraulic-mechanical ...

Abstract: Cement-admixed soil columns are often used to strengthen the surrounding soft soil for enhancing tunnel stability. Such improved soil surrounds possess high spatial variability and heterogeneity in the strength and stiffness ...

Abstract: This paper presents the study of possible failure mechanisms and stability of large-diameter tunnels in cement-treated soil surrounds. The failure modes and critical tunnel support pressure of tunnels with varying strength ...
