Seismic loading has always been a major concern for any engineering structures, and thereby, underground facilities (e.g., tunnels) are not exceptional. It is due to the seismically induced uplift and instability of tunnels caused by the large deformation of liquefiable soils. Therefore, the tunnel uplift behaviors subjected to seismic loading are always taken into account in any designing stages of tunnels. This study's main goal was to evaluate how a tunnel buried in liquefiable and non-liquefiable soils would behave when subjected to seismic stress. Seismic and liquefaction potential assessments of the soils surrounding the tunnel were carried out using the finite-element method. In this study, PM4sand, an advanced constitutive model was adopted in all finite-element models. In addition, the uplift displacement and excess pore pressure of liquefiable soils were studied, under a typical earthquake. Investigations were also conducted into how the thickness of the non-liquefiable soil affected seismic loading, tunnel uplift displacement, and the buildup of excess pore water pressure. As a result, during the earthquake, liquefaction was triggered in most parts of the sand layer but not in the clay layer. In addition, the tunnel uplift displacement was triggered due to the relative motion and interaction at both sides of the tunnel. In addition, this study found that the thickness of the non-liquefiable soil layer (sand layer) had a significant impact on the build-up of excess pore water pressure and, consequently, the tunnel uplift displacement. The uplift displacement and excess pore water pressure build-up were higher the thinner the non-liquefiable layer was.

The main tunnels of Line 16 Lot1 of the Grand Paris Express project are underway since 2019 using tunnel boring machines (TBM). They are drilled entirely in permeable strata (fine/silty sands, marls, and limestones) at a depth of 20÷30 m below the groundwater level. Groundwater inflow with high pressure is a major issue at the arrival/departure sections of the TBMs as well as during the excavation work of connection galleries between the main tunnels and maintenance or security shafts. Line 16 Lot1 is located under dense urban areas with the requirement of minimizing the drawdown of the groundwater and water inflow in civil engineering works; the purpose is to avoid excessive settlements on existing facilities and dissolution reactivation process of gypsum-rich strata. In order to minimize these risks, different types of ground improvement technics (jet grouting and cement mixture injection) have been applied, where jet grouting is used in fine sandy soil and cement mixture injection used in fissured marly-limestone. In addition, both technics of improvement have been associated on the same site. From a geotechnical point of view, the sands of Beauchamp are classified as coarse-grained soils (60% SM and 40% ML in the Unified soil Classification System ) and Marly-limestone of Saint-Ouen and deep Marls as fissured soft to medium-hard calcareous rock. This paper presents the geotechnical conditions, the ground improvement methodology and quality control during construction. The control sequence is performed by vertical and then horizontal drilling holes. The method of control work after excavation (horizontal control) allows to confirm the quality of the treatment blocks and specifically the bonding between the treatment block and the diaphragm wall.

Tunnelling in urban areas is growing in response to efficient transportation, many urban tunnels are constructed in soft ground at shallow depths. Urban tunnels are usually constructed as twin-parallel tunnels and their adjacent constructions may cause ground settlements that distort and damage the existing structures and utilities above the tunnel. In the past few decades, tunnel boring machines have been used to drill in increasingly difficult geotechnical conditions such as soft ground like soft clay. Metro Line 3 of the Hanoi metro system is designed of twin tunnels horizontally aligned in soft ground. The prediction of ground movements is an important part of the planning stage of any urban tunnelling project. This paper presents the results of numerical simulation by using ABAQUS finite element software to predict the vertical displacement at the surface caused by twin tunnelling of Hanoi pilot light metro line 03. According to numerical simulation results, the maximum vertical displacement at the surface caused by the left line tunnel and twin tunnels bore excavations is values of 12.8 and 21.3 mm, respectively. The maximum vertical displacement can be reached after the shield passes by a distance ranging from 30÷40 m. Twin tunnelling only affects the maximum vertical displacement at approximately 20÷30 m before excavation face tunnel. After the left line tunnel bore excavations, the magnitudes of the vertical displacement directly above the face tunnel (x = 0 m) is 7.9 mm coinciding with 61.7% of the maximum vertical displacement. After the twin tunnels bore excavations, The maximum vertical displacement directly above the face tunnel (x = 0 m) is 13.1 mm coinciding with 61.5% of the maximum vertical displacement.

The architectural heritages are symbols of culture, social, historical, and religion and the exciting points of every city or country, especially for tourism development. In the world, thousands of architectural heritages are preserved and protected. UNESCO and many international organizations work together with all governments and local people to keep the heritages. Their efforts are great, but sometimes, the heritages are damaged and destroyed by a natural disaster and human activities. In Vietnam, many architectural heritages are in danger. Therefore, preservation of these architectural heritages is essential with all efforts from the government and scientists. This paper presents the results of applying UAV and Terrestrial laser scanners to model the architectural heritage in 3D with high quality for the purpose of preserving and protecting these works. The study was done by modeling the Dieu Son Pagoda in Bac Ninh Province. The result shows that the model is very detailed and precise enough to retain the building's main architectural characteristics.

The area of the tunnel face after the blasting is a very important factor in underground excavations where the drilling and blasting method is used. The area of the tunnel face, this is a significant factor that has affected the cost and safety of underground constructions in case of using the drilling and blasting method in underground excavations. Because the area of the tunnel after the blasting depends on many different parameters, such as geological conditions in the area where the tunnel is located, the parameters of the explosion, and other parameters of the tunnel, it is very difficult to accurately determine the value of the tunnel face area after blasting. This paper uses the data obtained in the actual blasting of the Deo Ca tunnel (39 datasets) to build the computational and prediction models for the area of the tunnel face after blasting by two methods, the multiple linear regression analysis method and the method of using artificial neural network (ANN). Determination coefficient R2 of multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA) method and ANN method were obtained at 0.9224, and 0.9449, respectively. The applicability of the multiple linear regression analysis method and ANN method in calculating and predicting tunnel face area after blasting were validated based on a comparison with the results of the tunnel face area after blasting in practice.
