Water inrush disasters seriously endanger the construction safety of karst tunnels. To
accurately assess the water inrush risk level of karst tunnels, actively prevent and control …

Karst landforms were widely distributed all over the world, and they were mainly distributed
in the Southwest and Southeast regions in China. However, tunnel construction in giant …

Geological hazards, particularly water inrush, pose frequent challenges in tunnel
constructions within karst regions. Drawing from the engineering experiences in addressing …

Tunnelling projects seldom meet the initial budget requirements. Commonly, these types of
projects suffer from cost overruns, which subsequently lead to project delivery delays mainly …

As the tunnelling industry is an ever-expanding market due to the switch to electric vehicles
and expensive air space, the need for attaining a cost-efficient construction has never been …

The strength of karst fillings is vital for the safety of tunnels in large-filled karst areas. Karst
fillings in areas with seasonal rainfall often experience dry–wet cycle environments, which …

Water inrush disaster in karst tunnels is still a challenging topic, and the reasonable
thickness of water-resistant rock mass is of great significance in its prevention. This paper …

Water and mud inrush disaster is easily induced during tunnel construction through water-
rich fault fracture zones. In this paper, based on the field data, the process of water and mud …

In this paper, based on the upper-bound theorem of limit analysis and the reliability theory,
the reliability performance function of the rock and soil mass around the tunnel and the karst …

Tunnel excavation has significant disturbance on groundwater system and related geo-
environment, especially in karst regions like southwestern China. The present research was …
