This paper presents a case study of the construction of a 781-metre-long twin-tunnel, using an Earth Pressure Balance Machine (EPBM), in saturated sandy soils in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The depths of the tunnels were between 11.4m and 24.6m below the ground surface. The averaged trough width and length parameters were 0.326 and 0.446, which are consistent with previous studies in sands. The volume losses ranged from the anticipated levels of less than 0.5% to notably high values reaching up to 2.44%. Low volume losses were associated with areas of dense soil and effective tail void grouting. The characteristics of effective tail void grouting observed in dense sand in this project were grouting pressures close to porewater pressure, coupled with stable grouting volume that was approximately 130% of the volume of the theoretical tail void for the majority of the drive. However, in very loose sandy soil zones it was observed that even very high tail void grout volume did not prevent large settlements. Soil relative density proved to be an influential factor in ground surface vertical displacement, with large magnitudes occurring mainly in loose soil. A threshold relative density Id0.4 divides the normal volume loss of less than 0.7% range, and that of considerably larger volume loss. The results emphasised the need for caution when tunnelling at shallow depth in loose soil, where the combination of low relative density and shallow cover can result in significant ground movements.
本文介绍了在越南胡志明市饱和砂质土壤中使用土压平衡机(EPBM)施工781米长的双隧道的案例研究。隧道深度在地表以下11.4米至24.6米之间。平均槽宽和槽长参数分别为0.326和0.446,与以往砂体研究结果一致。成交量损失范围从预期的不到0.5%到显著的高值,高达2.44%。较低的体积损失与土壤密集区域和有效的尾空注浆有关。本项目在致密砂中观察到的尾空有效注浆特征为注浆压力接近孔隙水压力,且在大部分驱替过程中注浆体积稳定,约为理论尾空体积的130%。然而,在非常松散的沙土带,观察到即使非常高的尾空灌浆量也不能防止大的沉降。土壤相对密度是地表垂直位移的影响因素,且较大的位移主要发生在松散土中。阈值相对密度Id≈0.4将正常体积损失小于0.7%的范围和体积损失较大的范围区分开来。研究结果强调,在松散的土壤中,在浅深度挖掘隧道时需要谨慎,在这种情况下,低相对密度和浅覆盖的结合可能导致明显的地面移动。

Sequential artificial ground freezing (SAGF) provides improved frost heave control in urban tunnel engineering; however, its performance is challenged in high-seepage ground due to complex thermo-hydraulic interactions between the upstream and downstream freezing zones, where groundwater flow disrupts thermal symmetry and compromises curtain closure. This study focuses on the novel upstream–downstream interactions induced by sequential freezing under groundwater flow. A coupled thermo-hydraulic numerical model is developed to investigate the upstream–downstream effect during SAGF under various seepage velocities. The evolution of the temperature field, closure behavior, average temperature, and effective thickness of the frozen curtain is systematically analyzed. The results show that seepage velocities below 10 m/d cause asymmetric cooling that disrupts overall closure, whereas velocities exceeding 10 m/d lead to significant downstream cold energy transport, delayed closure, and potential non-closure of the frozen curtain. The closure time of the upstream freezing curtain increases exponentially when the seepage velocity exceeds a critical threshold of 7 m/d. In contrast, the closure time of downstream freezing exhibits a nonmonotonic response to seepage velocity, governed by the net cold energy balance. The frozen curtain develops pronounced asymmetry, with its consistently weakest zone located at approximately 225° relative to the tunnel center. These findings reveal the dominant mechanism of upstream–downstream thermal interaction under seepage conditions and provide quantitative design guidance for SAGF in high-seepage environments, highlighting the necessity of seepage-adaptive strategies in future engineering practice.
序贯人工冻结技术为城市隧道工程冻胀控制提供了有效手段。然而,由于上游和下游冻结区之间复杂的热水力相互作用,其性能在高渗地层中受到挑战,地下水流动破坏了热对称性并影响了帷幕的闭合。本文主要研究地下水流动下序贯冻结引起的新型上下游相互作用。建立了热-水耦合数值模型,研究了不同渗流速度下SAGF的上下游效应。系统地分析了冻结帷幕的温度场、闭合特性、平均温度和有效厚度的演变过程。结果表明,低于10 m/d的渗流速度会导致不对称冷却,破坏整体闭合,而超过10 m/d的渗流速度会导致大量的下游冷能传输,延迟闭合,甚至可能导致冻结幕不闭合。当渗流速度超过临界阈值7 m/d时,上游冻结幕的关闭时间呈指数增长。下游冻结闭合时间对渗流速度呈非单调响应,受净冷能平衡支配。冻结帷幕形成明显的不对称性,其最弱的区域始终位于相对于隧道中心约225°的位置。这些发现揭示了渗流条件下上下游热相互作用的主导机制,为高渗流环境下SAGF的定量化设计提供了指导,突出了渗流自适应策略在未来工程实践中的必要性。

Climate-driven intensification of extreme precipitation is significantly increasing unprecedented flooding risks for underground transportation infrastructure. Current flood risk assessment approaches for large-scale metro stations, characterized by extensive subsystem integration, high passenger volumes, and complex spatial configurations, often fail to capture critical cross-system interactions. This limitation arises mainly from the artificial separation of simulations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) from cross-system network analysis, which hinders the accurate prediction of cascading infrastructure failures. This study develops an integrated framework that combines CFD simulations with multi-layer network theory to concurrently analyze flood dynamics and system interdependencies. This framework models four critical subsystems of large-scale metro stations, including power, drainage, communication, and pedestrian, as interconnected networks based on established engineering standards. Flood-depth-dependent functions determine infrastructure node states, with thresholds calibrated from engineering standards to ensure physical consistency. The validations with the Shanghai Eastern Hub during a 500-year rainfall event (327 mm over 6 h, with a peak intensity of 90 mm/h) demonstrate that power systems exhibit the highest vulnerability, with functionality declining to 51.5% within 60 min. Furthermore, an analysis of 13,241 cascading failure events reveals that 67.3% are driven by water depth, while 32.7% are influenced by inter-system dependencies. Network analysis uncovers a critical importance-vulnerability paradox: power systems, serving as the network backbone with the highest importance score (0.446), simultaneously exhibit disproportionately elevated vulnerability (0.172) compared to other subsystems. The developed framework incorporates minute-level temporal coupling, validated to capture the dominant characteristics of infrastructure responses while maintaining computational tractability for engineering applications.
气候驱动的极端降水加剧正在显著增加地下交通基础设施前所未有的洪水风险。目前针对大型地铁车站的洪水风险评估方法,其特点是子系统集成广泛、客运量大、空间配置复杂,往往无法捕捉关键的跨系统相互作用。这种限制主要来自于计算流体动力学(CFD)模拟与跨系统网络分析的人为分离,这阻碍了对级联基础设施故障的准确预测。本研究开发了一个将CFD模拟与多层网络理论相结合的集成框架,以同时分析洪水动力学和系统相互依赖性。该框架将大型地铁站的四个关键子系统,包括电力、排水、通信和行人,作为基于既定工程标准的互联网络进行建模。与洪水深度相关的功能决定基础设施节点状态,并根据工程标准校准阈值,以确保物理一致性。对上海东部枢纽500年一次降雨事件(6小时327毫米,峰值强度为90毫米/小时)的验证表明,电力系统表现出最高的脆弱性,60分钟内功能下降到51.5%。对13241个级联破坏事件的分析表明,67.3%的级联破坏事件由水深驱动,32.7%的级联破坏事件受系统间依赖关系的影响。网络分析揭示了一个临界重要性-脆弱性悖论:电力系统作为网络的主干,重要性得分最高(0.446),同时与其他子系统相比,脆弱性表现出不成比例的高(0.172)。开发的框架结合了分钟级时间耦合,经过验证可以捕捉基础设施响应的主要特征,同时保持工程应用的计算可追溯性。

Multi-layer supporting structures have excellent flexibility in dynamically regulating the stress release of surrounding rock. Therefore, accurately determining the installation timing and combination scheme is of great significance for preventing and controlling severe large squeezing deformation. To systematically sort out the principles for determining the installation timing, the evolution law of mechanical mechanism of the double-layer primary supports in Maoxian tunnel was analyzed. A theoretical analytical method for determining installation timing was proposed by combining the viscoelastic-plastic creep constitutive model, which considers the damage tensor of layered rock mass, with the elastoplastic model during the construction influence period and the failure model of the supporting structure. Based on the continuity requirement of deformation under a multi-layer supporting system, an artificial intelligence algorithm was used to establish a multi-level deformation prediction model, assisting in determining the installation timing. The results indicated that for continuous medium surrounding rock and large squeezing deformation, the concept of flexible support followed by strong support and appropriately delaying the installation timing, can significantly reduce the surrounding rock pressure. By adopting the above concept, the maximum surrounding rock pressure of Maoxian tunnel can be reduced from 950.7 kPa to 665.9 kPa. The applicability of the proposed theoretical analysis method and multi-level deformation prediction model was verified through engineering examples. The maximum analytical solution error of the average surrounding rock pressure in Maoxian tunnel was only 41.2 kPa, while the average deformation prediction error was only 8.3%.
多层支护结构在动态调节围岩应力释放方面具有良好的灵活性。因此,准确确定安装时机和组合方案,对于预防和控制严重的大挤压变形具有重要意义。为系统梳理安装时机的确定原则,对茂县隧道双层主支护的受力机理演化规律进行了分析。将考虑层状岩体损伤张量的粘弹塑性蠕变本构模型与施工影响期弹塑性模型和支护结构破坏模型相结合,提出了一种确定安装时间的理论分析方法。基于多层支护系统下变形的连续性要求,采用人工智能算法建立多层变形预测模型,辅助确定安装时机。结果表明,对于连续介质围岩,挤压变形较大的情况下,采用柔性支护先强后强的支护理念,适当推迟安装时间,可以显著降低围岩压力。采用上述概念,茂县隧道最大围岩压力可由950.7 kPa降至665.9 kPa。通过工程实例验证了所提出的理论分析方法和多级变形预测模型的适用性。茂县隧道平均围岩压力最大解析解误差仅为41.2 kPa,平均变形预测误差仅为8.3%。

The angle and direction of bedding have a significant influence on the cracking and damage observed in tunnels excavated through layered soft rock. To investigate the cracking characteristics of tunnel lining structures under varying bedding conditions, this study initially conducted layered soft rock tunnel cracking tests. By analyzing the acoustic emission signals, lining deformation, and evolution of mechanical behavior during the loading process, the spatial distribution of lining cracking locations was determined for different bedding characteristics. Based on this, the cracking characteristics and crack patterns of the lining and surrounding rock were revealed using discrete element simulation. The study results indicated that bedding planes in their normal orientation represented a high-risk area for lining cracking due to stress concentration and inward compression of the lining, which resulted in the rupture of contact force chains and the initiation of cracks. Besides, the bedding characteristics exerted a significant impact on the crack pattern of the tunnel lining. Among these, the crack pattern of the lining evolved from tension/compression to shear, and then back to tension/compression, with deformation and internal forces showing an increasing and then decreasing trend, reaching a peak at an angle of 45°. As the bedding direction increased, cracks transitioned from a dispersed distribution to longitudinal penetration, while shear failure became more pronounced. The deformation and internal forces continued to increase, and the tunnel’s bearing capacity was weakest at a direction of 90°. This study systematically uncovers the failure mechanisms of layered soft rock tunnels, offering direct support for optimizing tunnel support parameters and a theoretical basis for maintaining existing tunnels.
顺层角度和方向对层状软岩隧道的开裂和破坏有重要影响。为了研究不同顺层条件下隧道衬砌结构的开裂特征,本研究初步开展了层状软岩隧道开裂试验。通过分析加载过程中的声发射信号、衬砌变形和力学行为演变,确定了不同层理特征下衬砌开裂位置的空间分布。在此基础上,采用离散元模拟方法揭示了衬砌和围岩的开裂特征和裂纹形态。研究结果表明,由于衬砌的应力集中和向内压缩,衬砌在正常方向上的顺层平面是衬砌开裂的高风险区域,从而导致接触力链断裂,产生裂纹。此外,顺层特性对隧道衬砌裂缝形态也有显著影响。其中,衬砌的裂纹形态由拉/压→剪切→拉/压,变形和内力呈现先增大后减小的趋势,并在45°角处达到峰值。随着顺层方向的增加,裂缝由分散分布向纵向贯通过渡,剪切破坏更加明显。变形和内力持续增大,90°方向隧道承载力最弱。本研究系统揭示了层状软岩隧道的破坏机理,为优化隧道支护参数提供直接支持,为既有隧道的维护提供理论依据。

Rock cutting and splitting is a new mechanical excavation method that consists of two steps: cutting with a saw and splitting with a wedge. The rock is cut to a prescribed depth in the first step, then each block is split by inserting a wedge into the cut. The main failure mechanism is tensile crack propagation from the base of the block towards the free face. We introduce an analytic solution to estimate the required indenting force. A series of scaled model tests confirmed that effective block separation occurs when the spacing-to-depth ratio is <2.0. Numerical models reproduce the tensile fracturing mechanism and validate the experimental results. Finally, in situ excavation tests on a granite slope and a simulated tunnel face demonstrate the applicability of the method to real-world situations. In hard rock (UCS > 100 MPa), the net cutting rate of CS method was 20 %–30 % higher than that predicted for roadheaders and more than 600 % higher than that of impact hammers. Photogrammetric surveys confirmed that the block shape matches the intended shape, suggesting the potential reuse of the blocks as construction material.
岩石切割劈裂是一种新型的机械开挖方法,主要由锯切和楔劈两步组成。在第一步中,岩石被切割到规定的深度,然后通过在切口中插入楔子来分割每个块。主要破坏机制是张拉裂纹从块体底部向自由面扩展。我们引入了一个解析解来估计所需的压痕力。一系列比例模型试验证实,当距深比为2.0时,块体分离效果明显。数值模型模拟了拉伸致裂机理,验证了实验结果。最后,对花岗岩边坡和模拟隧道工作面进行了现场开挖试验,验证了该方法对实际情况的适用性。在硬岩(UCS > 100 MPa)中,CS法的净切削率比掘进机的预测切削率高20% - 30%,比冲击锤的预测切削率高600%以上。摄影测量调查证实了街区的形状符合预期的形状,这表明这些街区有可能被用作建筑材料。

Sandy pebble strata, characterized by high pebble content, high uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of pebbles, poorly-sorted grain size distribution, and low flowability, often induce muck accumulation, cutterhead clogging, and chamber caking during earth pressure balance (EPB) shield tunneling, thereby reducing construction efficiency and compromising safety. Existing studies, predominantly relying on macroscopic indicators, often fail to elucidate the mesoscopic particle transport behaviors and the synergistic mechanism of the cutterhead-agitator system. This study develops a full-scale, three-dimensional finite difference method-discrete element method (FDM–DEM) coupled model to simulate particle transport within the cutterhead and soil chamber, to systematically reveal the transport mechanisms and guide equipment optimization. Results indicate that: (1) the soil chamber exhibits a “core–ring” dual-flow structure, characterized by a low-velocity “dead-zone column” at the center and a high-velocity annular channel at the periphery, attributed to the limited opening ratio in the central area and insufficient agitator coverage; (2) a “barrier–channel–dead-zone column” triple-control mechanism is proposed to explain the constraints imposed by energy barriers, geometric confinement, and cascade migration on particle transport; and (3) a synergistic optimization strategy is proposed, which includes increasing the opening ratio in the cutterhead’s central region, installing vertical agitators at the chamber center, and relocating the inner-ring agitator to R = 1.8 m. These findings provide significant theoretical insights for understanding muck transport behaviors and optimizing EPB shield design in sandy pebble strata.
砂质卵石地层具有含砾量大、卵石单轴抗压强度高、粒度分布分选差、流动性低等特点,在土压平衡盾构施工过程中,易出现堆渣、刀盘堵塞、硐室结块等现象,降低施工效率,危害安全。现有的研究主要依靠宏观指标,往往不能阐明刀盘-搅拌系统的介观颗粒输运行为和协同机制。本研究建立了全尺寸三维有限差分法-离散元法(FDM-DEM)耦合模型,模拟刀盘和土腔内颗粒输运,系统揭示输运机理,指导设备优化。结果表明:(1)由于中部开孔比有限和搅拌器覆盖面积不足,土室呈现出中心为低速“死区柱”、外围为高速环形通道的“核心-环”双流结构;(2)提出了“障碍-通道-死区柱”三重控制机制,解释了能量障碍、几何约束和级联迁移对粒子输运的约束;(3)提出了在刀盘中心区域加大开度比、在腔室中心安装立式搅拌器、将内环搅拌器移至R = 1.8 m的协同优化策略。这些发现为理解砂卵石地层中泥质运移行为和优化EPB盾构设计提供了重要的理论见解。

Tunnel excavation shape characteristics using the drill-and-blast method are influenced by blasting parameters and geological conditions. Meanwhile, these excavation shape characteristics significantly impact tunnel stability, support construction quality, and construction costs. Traditional approaches for predicting excavation shape characteristics exhibit limitations in terms of accuracy and efficiency. To address this, we propose a multiple-branching hierarchical fusion extraction network (MBHF) for predicting tunnel excavation shape characteristics, including overbreak/underbreak values, cross-sectional curvature, and regional convexity/concavity. The MBHF model employs a multi-branch module for multi-attribute feature extraction and a gated structure for multi-source data fusion. It integrates construction parameters, blasting parameters, and measurement-while-drilling (MWD) data as inputs. The proposed MBHF model’s performance and superiority in feature extraction and fusion have been validated through ablation studies and comparative analyses. On the testing dataset, the model achieved high predictive accuracy, with R2 values of 0.97, 0.89, and 0.88 across the three prediction tasks. The multi-task learning strategy demonstrates superior performance compared to the single-task learning strategy in predicting excavation shape characteristics. The weight-constrained graph convolutional networks exhibit exceptional performance than the traditional graph convolutional networks in extracting features from MWD data. Increasing MWD data points (blasthole number and length) significantly enhances model performance, but performance declines beyond a certain threshold.
钻爆法隧道开挖形状特征受爆破参数和地质条件的影响。同时,这些开挖形态特征对隧道稳定性、支护施工质量和施工成本影响较大。传统的预测开挖形状特征的方法在准确性和效率方面存在局限性。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了一个多分支分层融合提取网络(MBHF)来预测隧道开挖形状特征,包括超/下破值、横截面曲率和区域凹凸度。该模型采用多分支模块进行多属性特征提取,采用门控结构进行多源数据融合。它集成了施工参数、爆破参数和随钻测量(MWD)数据作为输入。通过烧蚀实验和对比分析,验证了该模型在特征提取和融合方面的性能和优越性。在测试数据集上,该模型取得了较高的预测精度,三个预测任务的R2值分别为0.97、0.89和0.88。与单任务学习策略相比,多任务学习策略在预测挖掘形状特征方面表现优异。权重约束的图卷积网络在从随钻测井数据中提取特征方面表现出比传统图卷积网络更优异的性能。增加MWD数据点(炮眼数量和长度)可以显著提高模型性能,但超过一定阈值后,性能就会下降。

The construction of underground thermal energy storage (UTES) systems using the space of abandoned mines is one of the most promising large-scale energy storage methods for the future. However, thermal fatigue damage caused by high-temperature environments may trigger potential destabilization of the backfill body that surround the thermal energy storage reservoir. It is therefore worthwhile to investigate the mechanism of mechanical weakening of the backfill body due to temperature effects. In this study, backfill body samples were subjected to heat treatment at six temperature levels and static mechanical testing. The thermomechanical behavior of the backfill body at different heating temperatures was investigated. Through acoustic emission (AE) technology and scanning electron microscope (SEM), the damage evolution law and instability precursors of the backfill body under thermomechanical effects were analyzed, revealing the crack propagation behavior and damage weakening mechanism of the backfill body. The results show that when the heating temperature rose from 25 °C to 500 °C, the compressive strength and elastic modulus of the backfill body decreased by 78.61 % and 84.21 %, and the peak strain increased by 62.54 %. High temperatures significantly weaken the mechanical properties of backfill body samples, promote plastic softening in the samples, and increase their ductility and deformation capacity. This is microscopically attributed to the structural damage to the backfill body caused by the progressive decomposition of ettringite, calcium silicate hydrate, and calcium hydroxide in high-temperature environments. This effect is visible in the SEM images of the microstructure of the backfill body and is dominated by the temperature level. The evolution patterns of AE counts and b-values effectively characterize the damage process of the backfill body and provide valuable early warning information for its fracture instability. As the temperature increased, the proportion of shear cracks rose from 31.72 % to 74.18 %. High temperatures significantly accelerate the formation and propagation of shear cracks, ultimately leading to a tensile-shear hybrid failure in the backfill body dominated by shear cracking. The research results provide theoretical references for the reinforcement design and disaster warning of defect-sensitive areas in thermal energy storage reservoir in UTES projects.
利用废弃矿山空间建设地下储热系统是未来最有前途的大规模储能方法之一。然而,高温环境引起的热疲劳损伤可能引发储热库周围充填体的潜在失稳。因此,对温度作用下充填体力学弱化的机理进行研究是有价值的。在本研究中,回填体试样进行了六个温度水平的热处理和静态力学测试。研究了充填体在不同加热温度下的热力学行为。通过声发射(AE)技术和扫描电镜(SEM)技术,分析了热力学作用下充填体的损伤演化规律和失稳前兆,揭示了充填体的裂纹扩展行为和损伤弱化机制。结果表明:当加热温度从25℃升高到500℃时,充填体抗压强度和弹性模量分别下降78.61%和84.21%,峰值应变增加62.54%;高温显著削弱了充填体试样的力学性能,促进了充填体试样的塑性软化,提高了充填体试样的延性和变形能力。微观上是由于钙矾石、水合硅酸钙和氢氧化钙在高温环境下不断分解,对充填体造成结构破坏。这种影响在回填体微观结构的SEM图像中可见,并且受温度水平的支配。声发射计数和b值的演化规律有效表征了充填体的破坏过程,为充填体的断裂失稳提供了有价值的预警信息。随着温度的升高,剪切裂纹的比例从31.72%上升到74.18%。高温显著加速了剪切裂纹的形成和扩展,最终导致充填体以剪切裂纹为主的拉剪复合破坏。研究结果可为UTES工程蓄热库区缺陷敏感区的加固设计和灾害预警提供理论参考。

Accurate inspection of undersea tunnel linings is essential for ensuring the long-term structural integrity and safe operation of marine infrastructure. However, conventional methods struggle with multi-chamber configurations due to visual data isolation and limited spatial correlation across chambers. To address this challenge, we propose a novel 3D Reality and Deep Zoom Image (3DZI) inspection technique that integrates 3D reconstruction with panoramic image unfolding. This method establishes a formalized mapping between three-dimensional models and high-resolution surface imagery, enabling precise localization, cross-chamber defect tracking, and improved data fusion. The proposed approach is cost-effective, scalable, and adaptable to confined and complex environments. Demonstrated in a real-world large-diameter undersea tunnel project, the method achieved reconstruction accuracy within ± 10 mm using consumer-grade equipment, offering a practical and economical solution for intelligent tunnel monitoring. The paper also discusses limitations regarding environmental variability, automation potential, and scalability. The findings contribute to the advancement of engineering informatics by extending how spatial and visual knowledge can be formalized and operationalized in the built environment.
海底隧道衬砌的准确检测对于保证海底基础设施结构的长期完整和安全运行至关重要。然而,由于视觉数据隔离和室间有限的空间相关性,传统方法难以与多室配置相匹配。为了解决这一挑战,我们提出了一种新的3D现实和深度变焦图像(3DZI)检测技术,该技术将3D重建与全景图像展开相结合。该方法建立了三维模型和高分辨率表面图像之间的形式化映射,实现了精确定位、跨腔缺陷跟踪和改进的数据融合。所提出的方法具有成本效益、可扩展性和可适应于受限和复杂的环境。在实际的大直径海底隧道工程中,该方法使用消费级设备实现了±10 mm以内的重建精度,为智能隧道监测提供了实用和经济的解决方案。本文还讨论了环境可变性、自动化潜力和可扩展性方面的限制。这些发现通过扩展空间和视觉知识如何在建筑环境中形式化和可操作化,有助于工程信息学的进步。
