Reliability analysis plays a critical role in the design optimization, operation, and
maintenance of tunnel structures. While classical mechanism models have been …

Ensuring the reliability of tunnel support systems is crucial for their safe and uninterrupted
use. However, tunnel engineering involves numerous uncertain factors, such as the …

Tunnel boring machines are widely used to construct underground rail networks in urban
areas. However, ground settlement due to complex geological conditions is an ever-present …

Rock properties are estimated using objective lab/in-situ testing and subjective judgements
invoking different types of uncertainties, ie, aleatory, and epistemic, along them, often …

An attribute recognition model of water inrush risk evaluation is established based on
attribute mathematic theory and software is developed for risk assessment in a tunnel. In our …

An efficient approach is proposed in this paper for probabilistic ground-support interaction
analysis of deep rock excavation using the artificial neural network (ANN) and uniform …

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and Young's modulus (E) of rock are important
mechanical parameters in rock engineering design and construction. UCS and E are also …

Time-dependent rock behavior can significantly affect the design and the construction
method of tunnel support lining. As an innovation, a concrete liner covered with a …

Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is applied to a rock tunnel support system,
considering the ground-support interaction and the parametric uncertainties. Both reliability …

A practical approach is proposed in this paper for the reliability assessment of rock tunnel
excavations using the moving least squares method (MLSM) and the uniform design. The …
