Indeed, determination of groundwater inflow into tunnels, especially in discontinuous rock
masses, is still one of the most challenging issues faced by tunneling experts, which may …

There are various analytical, empirical and numerical methods to calculate groundwater
inflow into tunnels excavated in rocky media. Analytical methods have been widely applied …

When estimating groundwater inflow into lined tunnels in water-rich regions, waterproofing
and drainage systems (WDS) are usually ignored or not fully considered in existing …

The characterization of geological hazards is of great importance in underground space
and, in particular, tunnelling projects because it plays a crucial part in the selection of the …

Seepage is one of the most substantial factors in the embankment dams design. The Cutoff
wall method is the ideal construction solution for controlling flow through the foundation of …

This research describes the seepage characteristics of experimental model test of dam with
cutoff located at different region (at dam heel, at mid floor of dam, and at dam toe). It is …

One of the critical problems in tunneling practices is the inflow of water into tunnels. The
most significant difficulties resulted from water inflow to tunnels, include reduction of rock …

Tunneling operations face a significant challenge in managing water inflow into excavated
underground spaces, primarily initial or excavating caused discontinuities in tunnel walls …

The particular situation of the Gelas water conveyance tunnel led this study to evaluate
squeezing behavior along the second part of the tunnel in northwestern Iran. This section of …

During the underground work design, the first step in characterizing the behaviour of the
materials involved in the excavation (rock masses and/or soils) consists in defining the …
