Abstract:
The horizontal displacement of the soil at the face of the subway tunnel is symmetrically distributed along the central axis of the tunnel, which is larger in the middle and smaller at both sides. The displacement is related to the size of the excavation face. If the excavation area is too great, the horizontal displacement of the tunnel face will be too large, easily leading to tunnel face collapse. For this reason, tunnel builders often use the core-keeping ring-cut method to build subway tunnels. A large section is divided into several small sections to reduce the soil displacement caused b

Abstract:
Geophysical technologies are used to mitigate geological hazard caused by adverse geological conditions in front of a tunnel face. The prevailing method for forward probing for tunnels constructed by a tunnel boring machine (TBM) for advance prediction is based on seismic detection. Conventional tunnel seismic prediction technology uses P- and S-waves with sources fired on the tunnel wall or face and layout receivers on the tunnel wall to acquire the reflected waves. However, the results show that most of these methods have different deficiencies that are in either low detection accuracy, shor

Abstract:
Tunnel faces in underground mines, as the front line of mining, play an important role in both mine safety and mining intelligence. However, the engineering quality of tunnel faces is still evaluated based on visual observations by technicians, which cannot guarantee safety and real-time performance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more effective method to detect the quality of tunnel face engineering. In this study, a high-performance and accurate tunnel face segmentation model was developed by applying the YOLOv5-seg computer vision model to an underground mine. By optimizing a clas

Abstract:
Currently, double-hole complementary ventilation is a mature ventilation method for operating tunnels, but how to carry out it in the construction tunnel poses a new challenge. Due to the desynchronization in the construction period of the double-hole tunnel, there is an instantaneous difference in the air flow demand between the two working faces. The study analyzes the impact of geometric parameters, specifically Lt (the distance from the traffic cross passage to the working face of the advance side tunnel), Lp (the distance between the pedestrian cross passage and the working face of the ad

This paper develops a convenient approach for facilitating the prediction of tunnel face stability in the framework of Bayesian theorem. First, a number of values of the features influencing the face-stability of tunnels are chosen according to the full factorial design. Secondly, the software OptumG2 is utilized to performed strength reduction analyses to obtain safety factors regarding tunnel face stability. Based on the simulated safety factors, the chosen samples are labeled as stable (Fs≥1) or unstable samples (Fs<1). Thirdly, the model parameters that characterize the distribution of

Abstract Detecting the possibility of water inrush in front of tunnel face is always the key of tunnel advanced geological prediction. Because of its sensitivity to groundwater, transient electromagnetic method is gradually being used in water exploration of tunnel advanced geological prediction. However, the current transient electromagnetic theory is established based on the half-space environment. In order to adapt to the detection work in the full-space environment such as tunnels, different transient electromagnetic devices have been improved. The effectiveness of these improved devices s

To predict and prevent the collapse and mud inrush caused by the deep karst trough in tunnels, an engineering case is studied. Firstly, a comprehensive identification method for the hazard-causing structure of the deep karst trough in tunnels is proposed and successfully applied. Secondly, the morphological characteristics and developmental mechanism of the deep karst trough are studied. The hazard-causing structure is mainly developed at the entrance section of the karst tunnel, which is funnel-shaped, mostly filled with clay and a small amount of gravel.

Abstract:
Abstract During tunnel construction, crossing water-rich fault fracture zones leads to water influx hazards at the tunnel face. Excavation exposes the fault, causing disturbances and changes in the hydraulic gradient. Thus, the tunnel face becomes a low hydraulic head surface. The naturally high permeability of the fracture zone provides a pathway for groundwater flow, resulting in water seepage along the fracture zone and subsequent water influx at the tunnel face. To investigate this interaction, a two-phase double-point material point method was employed aimed at developing a coupled fluid-

Abstract Transportation demands in developing countries necessitate the use of underground infrastructure, notably tunnels, which also serve as storage spaces for vehicles and military equipment, expanding their utility. Mega Tunnels, defined as those with a diameter exceeding 10m, offer diverse functionalities, including facilitating the storage and movement of large equipment and establishing comprehensive operational systems for urban areas. However, ensuring the stability of these tunnels’ faces poses a significant challenge due to their larger diameter, making it a crucial research focus.

Due to the increasing development of highway reconstruction and expansion projects in China, many large-span highway tunnels are being constructed near existing highway tunnels. Tunneling underneath will inevitably cause variation in the surrounding rock displacement and may even lead to collapse. In this study, based on an analysis of extensive field monitoring data from the Gucheng tunnel, the variation law for the surrounding rock full-displacement and the influence of the tunnel-face spatial effect in a large-span mudstone tunnel are analyzed.

One of the most popular pre-reinforcement structures in the construction of tunnels through weak grounds would be the pipe roof reinforcement. This composite structure consists on installing, prior to the excavation of a length of tunnel, a series of pipes, either parallel to the tunnel axis or at a certain angle with it. By injecting grout through the pipes, the ground in between the pipes is stiffened and the pipes are connected, creating a kind of ‘umbrella’ above the area to be excavated.
