Rock burst is a dynamic process of sudden, rapid and violent release of elastic energy
accumulated in rock and coal masses during underground activities. It can lead to …

This study presents an application of artificial neural network (ANN) and Bayesian network
(BN) for evaluation of jamming risk of the shielded tunnel boring machines (TBMs) in …

Collapse is one of the main hazards during tunnel construction by the drill-and-blast method.
In order to evaluate the collapse risk and provide a basis for risk control, a failure probability …

Tunnel squeezing or time-dependent large deformations due to creep are common in
tunnels constructed in weak rock masses at large depth or subjected to high horizontal in …

Water inrush makes time extended, instruments destructed, and casualty increased, which is
the biggest threat for safe construction of tunnels in karst areas. A software system for risk …

This study proposes a quantitative method for assessing road tunnel fire safety based on a
numerical simulation of in-smoke evacuation. Considering evacuation in tunnels which is a …

Bayesian networks are robust and powerful probabilistic knowledge representation and
inference models that are widely used in engineering structures for reliability assessment …

Purpose This study aims to focus on exploring the construction productivity of building
projects under the influence of potential factors. The three primary purposes are (1) …

A quantitative risk analysis (QRA) regarding dangerous goods vehicles (DGVs) running
through road tunnels was set up. Peak hourly traffic volumes (VHP), percentage of heavy …

Since its foundation, the Joint Committee on Structural Safety (JCSS) has been engaged in
the discussion of methods for determining the reliability of components, calibration of …
