Due to a lack of awareness of environmental protection at the beginning of tunnel
excavation and the unique ecological vulnerability of karst areas, tunnel excavation is …

Indeed, determination of groundwater inflow into tunnels, especially in discontinuous rock
masses, is still one of the most challenging issues faced by tunneling experts, which may …

The application of multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques in real-life problems
has increased in recent years. The need to build advanced decision models with higher …

Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) is becoming one of the most promising alternative sources of
fresh water which can be potentially captured and utilized, particularly in arid and semi-arid …

Prediction of time‐dependent groundwater inflow into a shield tunnel is a significant task
facing engineers. Published literature shows that there is no available method with which to …

Increasing water demands, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, continuously
exacerbate groundwater resources as the only reliable water resources in these regions …

The objective of this study is to make a comparison among different methods used for
evaluation of steady state groundwater inflow to a shallow circular cross section tunnel …

This study presents the application of the finite element method integrated with Terzaghi's
principle. The definition of a model in oedometric or confinement conditions for settlement …

Los Angeles has experienced ground deformations during the past decades. These ground
displacements can be destructive for infrastructure and can reduce the land capacity for …

There are various analytical, empirical and numerical methods to calculate groundwater
