The T-bar penetrometer is extensively used in offshore field investigation and laboratory
testing to evaluate the undrained shear strength of soft clay because of its reliability and …

Earth pressure balance (EPB) shield tunnelling plays a crucial role in urban infrastructure
development but faces challenges due to potential face instability. Previous studies often …

Twin curved tunnels are often encountered in shield tunnelling, where significant
complexities in densely exploited underground space are observed. In this study, the ground …

The natural stratigraphic distribution is uncertain due to the geological tectonic movements
and sedimentation. It is a challenge for traditional deterministic models to capture geological …

The ecological impacts of mining and the instability of slopes are the key factors restricting
the safe, efficient, and low-carbon production of open-pit mines. This study focused on the …

Submarine pipeline has been utilized more and more widely in offshore oil and gas
transportation engineering. Given that these pipelines frequently subject horizontal loading …

This study introduces a real-time unsupervised monitoring framework for monitoring
sinkhole formation events during earth pressure balance (EPB) shield tunneling operations …

Tunnelling, an essential tool of underground space exploration, often encounters the
challenge of face instability, especially in spatially variable soils, which poses significant …

Natural freeze–thaw (FT) cycles and earthquakes are two key triggers for landslides in cold
regions. However, investigations on their coupled effect are rare. In the current work, this …

The application of adaptive support vector regression (SVR) models in tunnel reliability
analysis is limited. A two-stage adaptive SVR-based metamodel is proposed for tunnel …
