Complex geological conditions and/or inappropriate shield tunnel boring machine (TBM)
operation can significantly degrade both the excavation and safety of tunnel construction. In …

This paper presents a novel deep learning model for real-time prediction of shield moving
trajectory during tunnelling. The proposed model incorporates a wavelet transform (WT) into …

High excavation-induced stress concentration and strong mining/tunneling disturbance are
prominent conditions in deep excavations, and often present a coupled process to induce …

Tunnelling in urban areas should be aware of deviations from the design tunnel axis,
referred to also as 'misalignment'. Significant misalignment can cause unfavourable soil …

In this work, comprehensive numerical modelling was conducted on the full-scale linear
cutting test with a TBM disc cutter. Several numerical techniques, including local particle …

Urban soft-ground tunneling projects involve significant risks related to the spatial variability
and uncertainty in geotechnical parameters. However, standard practice typically does not …

Estimation of geomechanical parameters is a challenging task in geotechnical engineering.
This paper aims to estimate the geotechnical parameters of soil layers in the Tehran Metro …

The application of geostatistical analyses of site investigation data for tunneling projects has
gained significant attention in the literature. While the proposed techniques are useful for …

Surrounding rock mass fracture characteristics play a significant role in the understanding of
the CO2 geological storage and utilization (CGSU) engineering practices in abandoned …

Spatial prediction or interpolation of geotechnical parameters is a vital step in the designs or
reliability analyses of geotechnical structures. Existing studies involving spatial predictions …
