A profound understanding of the interaction between loess slopes and tunnels, along with
the mastery of protective measures for tunnels crossing loess slopes, is crucial for ensuring …

With the rapid increase in the construction of loess tunnels, more and more problems are
encountered during the construction process, especially regarding the issue of collapse in …

The mechanical responses of tunnels reinforced by combined bolt–cable system are
investigated in this paper. An analytical model of the convergence-confinement type is …

To investigate the interaction of the bolt-reinforced rock and the surface support, an
analytical model of the convergence-confinement type is proposed, considering the …

To investigate the mechanical responses and construction optimization of shallow super-
large span (SLS) tunnels in weathered tuff stratum, the field monitoring scheme and the …

The double-sidewall guide pit method finds extensive application in the construction of large
cross-section tunnels in soft rock strata due to its minimal disruption to the surrounding rock …

As demand for underground space expands, cavern designs are trending towards broader
spans and flatter shapes. The geomechanical model test was carried out based on a super …

Affected by dip angle and thickness of strata and the tunneling method, soft rock tunnel has
obvious characteristics of large deformation, long deformation time and difficult support …

With the fast progress of infrastructure projects, super-large cross-section projects are
constantly emerging, and, therefore, engineering challenges and problems are increasing …

The tunneling process in water-rich silty fine sand stratum often faces challenges such as
arch collapse due to the instability of the initial support arch foot. The present study focuses …
