In an urbanization process, infrastructure elements such as tunnels and deep excavations
are widely used to service the development of cities. Owing to the lengthy geological …

Indeed, determination of groundwater inflow into tunnels, especially in discontinuous rock
masses, is still one of the most challenging issues faced by tunneling experts, which may …

The groundwater flow in karst aquifers is prone to become non-Darcian due to the presence
of karst conduits, and this effect may become more pronounced during tunnel construction …

Water inflow into a tunnel is usually estimated by assuming that the flow follows the linear
Darcy's law. However, fluid flow in fractured-rock aquifers is prone to deviation from Darcy's …

The groundwater drawdown caused by tunnel excavation can change the hydrogeological
flow system in karst areas. However, how to overcome the heterogeneity in karst aquifers …

The stability of a fractured rock mass around a subsurface opening is critical to tunnel
excavation. The traditional underground excavation analysis is based on a continuum …

This paper investigated the undrained responses for deep circular tunnels with
reinforcement in saturated ground analytically. An idealized model of an axisymmetric tunnel …

This paper presents an experimental investigation of seepage failure between water
retention bulkheads and surrounding rocks. Water retention bulkheads are commonly used …

Non-Darcy seepage commonly occurs in fractured rocks with an adequate groundwater
system around deep-buried tunnels. This study develops a numerical method for capturing …

Fissure flow (FF)-induced disasters are a basic scientific difficulty in the fields of rock
mechanics and geological engineering disasters. Based on large collapse and landslide …
