Fault fracture zones are characterized by low strength, loose rock, and poor self-stability.
The lining at the contact position is prone to shear and torsion damage. During tunnel …

Cross-river twin tunnels are prone to deformation and uneven settlement of the surrounding
soil due to the complexity of the strata crossed, which has a negative impact on the tunnel …

Appropriate simulation set parameters are the precondition to obtain accurate results; while
the simulation results are affected by multiple factors, it is thus crucial to investigate the …

Construction of tunnels in the soft ground causes ground surface settlement in the urban
conditions, especially for tunnels near the surface. The prediction of ground surface …

This paper is interested in the control of ground surface settlements during shield driving of
twin tunnels in urban areas. Considering the highly three-dimensional nature of the whole …

The article presents the results of mathematical modelling of geomechanical processes that
occur during the construction of an escalator tunnel using EPB TBM at the «Mining Institute» …

Abstract The Generalised Hoek-Brown (GHB) failure criterion is one of the most used criteria
to study the behaviour of the rocks; affected parameters of the Hoek-Brown equation are …

The growth of urban populations necessitates the construction of robust infrastructure,
including highways, public transportation systems, sanitation networks, and housing …

Tunnels are constructed for transportation purposes such as roadways, railways, and
subways. Twin tunnels with lengths ranging from a few meters to many kilometers are …

Contemporary life streams, more often than ever, impose the necessity for construction of
new underground structures in the vicinity of existing tunnels, with an aim to accommodate …
