Abstract: AbstractObservational analysis indicates significant decadal changes in daytime, nighttime, and compound (both daytime and nighttime) heat waves (HWs) over China across the mid-1990s, featuring a rapid increase in frequency, ...

Abstract: When tunneling with a tunnel boring machine (TBM) in permeable soil, excess pore-water pressure are inevitably generated in the soil surrounding the TBM. Because excess pore-water pressure reduce the effective face support ...

Abstract: Deformation control and stability analysis are very important for tunnel construction. Large deformations of the constructed primary support accompanied by lining cracking and spalling occurred in the Dongxishan Tunnel ...

Abstract: Ignoring the shotcrete hardening property in tunnel design may lead to an overestimation of the bearing capacity of shotcrete liners and underestimation of tunnel convergence. However, accounting for this nonlinear hardening ...

Abstract: During deep excavation in weak rock masses, the time-dependent deformation of the rock and longitudinal advancement process have significant influences on the tunnel performance. Accordingly, a combined support system ...
