Water and mud inrush is one of the most important geohazards in underground engineering.
The paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the current understanding of this type of …

Abstract Traversing the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, the Sichuan–Tibet Railway is by far the
most difficult railway project in the world. The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau features the most …

The hydromechanical coupling behavior of rocks is widely present in the fields of rock
mechanics and engineering studies. Analyzing and summarizing the relevant literature, the …

Grouting has been widely employed to mitigate geohazards in underground projects (eg, the
tunnel). However, few studies have focused on the effects of the creep behavior of a grouting …

This study developed a new model, a 3D coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-
discrete element method (DEM) model, by coupling two software programs, ABAQUS and …

Water inrush disaster occurs easily when the tunnel is close to the water rich fault fracture
zone. To clarify the disaster evolution process and the critical thickness of the water-resistant …

Water and mud/rock inrush has been recognized as one of the major geological hazards in
underground engineering, which resulted in huge casualties, financial losses, or …

In caving mines, the risk of wet muck inrush is critical when water and fine material are
present. Wet muck inrushes can result in mine closure as they can be responsible for loss of …

Faults can represent adverse geological conditions that frequently cause the jamming of
tunnel boring machines (TBMs). In this study, we present a case study of TBM jamming at …

Well-connected seepage channels are the key components of tunnel water inrush. To study
the trends of the pore water pressure in the rock mass in a seepage channel, the physical …
