Accurate prediction of the spread of fluids leaking from underground pipelines is crucial for
risk assessment. In this study, we developed a method for predicting the diffusion range of …

Exfiltration of defective water pipelines is one of the leading causes contributing to the
frequent ground collapses in congested urban areas; hence, revealing the failure evolution …

Synchronous grouting plays a pivotal role in the shield tunnelling for mitigating the
surrounding soil displacement. A Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete Element Method …

Ground collapse occurs frequently due to the roof or roof–sides breakdown of shallow
cavities, but analytical solutions considering both types of failures remains a challenge and …

More complex geological conditions could be encountered with the construction of urban
subway projects. At present, many subway tunnels have been built in composite strata with …

Preferential flow is widely developed in varieties of voids (such as macropores and fissures)
in loess areas, affecting slope hydrology and stability and even leading to geological …

Urban water supply pipelines serve as vital lifelines for urban operations. However, the
occurrence of underground pipeline leakage, caused by various factors, results in significant …

In recent years, cave-in ground failures have become increasingly common worldwide. The
leakage of defective pipelines buried below ground level has been identified as a significant …
