Natural gas (NG) pipeline networks constitute a critical means of energy transportation,
playing a vital role in the economic development of modern societies. The associated socio …

Pile foundations used in liquefiable deposits often have large slenderness ratios, and these
piles are particularly vulnerable to earthquake-induced soil liquefaction and occur buckling …

Pipelines as infrastructure components are very vulnerable to geohazard-induced
phenomena such as ground deformation, slopes failure and others. Understanding the …

To investigate the mechanical response and failure characteristic of mining tunnel under the
effect of normal fault dislocation and the effect of dislocation resistant design parameters on …

An approach is developed for estimating the responses of a tunnel with multiple flexible
joints under fault movements. Initially, a new simplified mechanical model of flexible joints is …

Fault dislocation seriously threatens the structural security of cross-fault tunnels during
operation. Regarding the mechanical response of the tunnel across faults, the tunnel was …

In this study, sophisticated numerical methods and constitutive models were used to study
the effect of combined fault rupture deformation and subsequent seismic excitation on a …

The current paper evaluates the response of a tunnel subjected to strike-slip fault rupture
with experimental and numerical approaches. Some state-of-art techniques were adopted in …

Knowledge from historical earthquake events indicates that a submarine tunnel crossing
active strike-slip faults is prone to be damaged in an earthquake. Previous studies have …

To investigate the longitudinal mechanical response of a pipeline or tunnel under reverse
fault dislocation, this paper introduces the two-parameter Pasternak model and the vertical …
