Karst ecosystems are formed by dissolution of soluble rocks, usually with conspicuous
landscape features, such as sharp peaks, steep slopes and deep valleys. The plants in karst …

Predicting and controlling tunnel-induced ground settlement is crucial for ensuring safety
and minimizing environmental impact. However, current research methods are varied, each …

This study proposes an artificial intelligence approach to predict ground settlement during
shield tunneling via considering the interactions among multi-factors, eg, geological …

This paper presents the measurement and prediction of the tunnelling-induced surface
response in karst ground, Guangzhou, China. A predictive method of ground settlement is …

This paper proposes a new computational model to predict the earth pressure balance
(EPB) shield performance during tunnelling. The proposed model integrates an improved …

Real-time and precise prediction of geological conditions is extremely beneficial to the safe
and efficient construction of slurry pressure balanced shield machines (SPBMs), especially …

Unfavourable geological disasters, such as water inrush and gushing mud, are often
encountered during tunnel construction in karst areas. Whenever a large-scale water and …

A water-filled cave can easily result in the deterioration of the surrounding rock when a
shield tunnel passes through the urban karst area, resulting in engineering disasters such …

An interval risk assessment method of water inflow and inrush in karst tunnel is proposed.
Based on the method, both a conceptual and a computational form of the risk assessment …

Water inrush in karst tunnels is a dynamic process in which internal and external factors are
involved. The evaluation of this process is fuzzy, complex, and uncertain. In the current …
