Abstract: Water and mud inrush is a common geological disaster in the construction of karst tunnels. The loss of soil particles in filling-type karst disaster-causing structures is the key factor leading to the expansion of the water ...

Abstract: Karst caves are often encountered during karst tunnel excavation, and the shape of the karst cave has an impact on the stability of the tunnel surrounding rock. This paper focused on the effects of karst cave shape on the ...

Abstract: A fractured rock mass was characterized by strong heterogeneity, discontinuity, and anisotropy. The study of flow in a fractured rock mass was a complex and challenging task. As the main seepage channels of a fractured ...
