In recent years, 3D laser scanning technology has been applied to tunnel engineering.
Although more intelligent than traditional measurement technology, it is still challenging to …

The present paper has been carried out to understand the effects of impact loading on the
rock tunnels, constructed in different region corresponding to varying unconfined …

Transportation infrastructure (TI) is a vital link for and critical component of societal and
economic development. A new area, called intelligent construction for transportation …

The volumetric discontinuity intensity (P 32) is defined as the total discontinuity area by rock
mass volume. P 32 has been considered the most suitable parameter to quantify …

Efficiently determining the properties of the rock mass is essential for evaluating tunnel
stability in tunneling projects. The back-analysis technique is commonly employed as an …

This paper formulated and implemented a novel local continuum damage model to be used
with a continuous or a continuous-discontinuous strategy to simulate crack growth in quasi …

This paper describes an analytical method for investigating the tunnel–pile interaction for
new tunnels crossing the pile foundation of the Shenzhen Bay Bridge, with a case study …

In this paper, a Python library named U n B locksgen is presented for the generation and
analysis of 3D rock block systems. The library provides the tools for the construction of …

In this paper, an investigation is performed regarding the applicability of the Rigid Body
Spring Network method (RBSN) to the analysis of hard rock tunnels in massive and fractured …

Determining the fracture trace length distribution for a rock mass is an essential and difficult
step in statistical fracture modeling. This requires the collection of representative mapping …
