For tunnel buried in water-rich sand stratum, water intrusion into tunnel lining would bring
sand particles into the tunnel and then caused ground subsidence or even cave-in of …

Seepage plays a significant role affecting the tunnel face failure process. However, its effect
on the stability of the underwater tunnel face remains unclear. To study the seepage effect …

A series of centrifuge model tests and numerical simulations of these tests were carried out
to investigate the surface settlement troughs, excess pore water pressure generation, tunnel …

The wetting-induced collapse of loess strata affects tunnel structures and is a key challenge
in geotechnical engineering. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms that influence …

Seepage induced by the difference of hydraulic head between the ground and the shield's
chamber will adversely affect the stability of tunnel face when tunnels are excavated through …

There are an increasing number of cases wherein the soil around a tunnel is immersed in
water, which adversely affects the tunnel. To study the influence mechanism of local …

Tunneling may cause ground movements and damage to adjacent buildings and overlying
facilities. In this study, the failure mechanism and ground movement behavior around …

During operation of the Kaiyuansi Tunnel, water leakage from the lining frequently occurs in
the rainy season, seriously impacting the safety of the tunnel structure. To study the …

Tunnelling has increasingly become an essential tool in the exploration of underground
space. A typical construction problem is the face instability during tunnelling, posing a great …

Tunneling induced excess pore water pressure (EPWP) is crucial to face stability, time-
dependent ground deformation and structural performance of tunnel lining. This paper …
