The jet grouting technique was originally initiated in the UK and progressively developed
following the needs for larger geometries, ease of implementation, economic rationality, and …

This paper presents a review on the land subsidence caused by groundwater withdrawal in
**'an, China. With the increasing demands of people's livelihood and economy during the …

Disc cutter consumption is a critical problem that influences work performance during shield
tunneling processes and directly affects the cutter change decision. This study proposes a …

With the accelerated urbanization and population growth in the Yangtze River Delta of
China, numerous metro tunnels are in operation or under construction, and adjacent deep …

The existing longitudinal structural model of shield tunnels usually simplify the tunnel as a
Euler-Bernoulli beam on elastic foundation, which ignores the shearing dislocation between …

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

The prediction of earth pressure balance (EPB) shield performance is an essential part of
project scheduling and cost estimation of tunneling projects. This paper establishes an …

This research investigates geohazards and preventative countermeasures for Lanzhou City,
China. To investigate the factors related to the development of geohazards in Lanzhou, the …

There are several well-established jacking force models available for determining the
jacking loads. However, their ability to characterise the tunnel bore conditions is limited. A …

Waterproof curtains are used as barriers to block groundwater during deep excavations;
however, in practice, barrier leakage occurs frequently. This paper establishes a three …
