Based on the newly developed water-vapor-heat-mechanical coupling test apparatus, a series of soil column tests were carried out to investigate the frost heave mechanism of CGF. The results indicate that the liquid water in CGF is discontinuous and difficult to migrate to the freezing front. The primary mechanism of moisture accumulation and frost heave in CGF is vapor migration and phase transition. With increasing freeze-thaw cycles, both vapor migration and frost heave reduce. The thaw settlement of the CGF is less than the frost heave, so there is a net upward deformation in each cycle. Furthermore, the fine particle content has a prominent effect on the heat transfer and frost heave of the CGF compared to the fine particle type. Even under the condition of vapor replenishment, controlling the content of fine particles is still an important way to inhibit frost heave. Moreover, after reducing the maximum particle size of CGF, the frost heave of the sample increases. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) test results show that CGF is dominated by large pores, and the freeze-thaw cycle further promote the development of large pores, providing a good channel for the migration of vapor. In conclusion, the frost heave development caused by vapor migration is slow and continuous, posing a non-negligible risk to HSR subgrades during long-term service.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11567,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology","volume":"351 ","pages":"Article 108032"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143644682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in practice, brief and empirical guidelines have been widely adopted, often without standardization. This study aimed to quantify the beneficial effects of counterweight fill on slope safety by analyzing the respective failure mechanisms. To achieve an optimal design, strategic fill configurations, including fill geometry, height, and area, are discussed. Further considerations include the strength and weight of counterweight fills, demonstrating the importance of fill positioning and material selection for slope stabilization. The addition of fill mass at the toe of the slopes could significantly strengthen the slope stability, potentially doubling the stability factors, assuming the fill used the same material as the slope. A strong dependence of the failure mechanisms of the fill-reinforced slopes was observed, leading to the potential local collapse of the restricted slope failure.

The blasting crater is a key research subject for understanding the principles of blasting action in deep rock masses. To explore the theoretical model of the spatiotemporal propagation of blasting stress waves, the formation mechanism of the blasting crater, and the evolution laws of its characteristic parameters under different ground stress conditions, a series of studies were conducted. Firstly, based on wave mechanics, this study derived the propagation equations for the attenuation, reflection, and superposition of blasting stress waves in time and space. Subsequently, physical model experiments were conducted using wire electric explosion technology to study blasting craters under various stress intensity ratios <em>λ</em>. The process of dynamic propagation of surface cracks on specimens was observed using ultra-high-speed photography, and the extent of any crack propagation was statistically analyzed using the box-counting dimension method. The size and distribution characteristics of fragments after blasting were described by the G-G-S distribution function. The three-dimensional form of the blasting crater was extracted using a 3-d laser scanner, and the evolution of characteristic parameters such as the geometric size, area, volume, and opening angle was analyzed. The results indicate that as the stress intensity ratio <em>λ</em> increases, cracks propagate along the principal stress direction while exhibiting a decrease in the extent of crack propagation, complexity, and density. Moreover, there is a negative correlation between the stress intensity ratio <em>λ</em> with both the crack fractal dimension <em>D</em><sub><em>f</em></sub> and the fragment fractal dimension <em>D</em><sub><em>s</em></sub>, whereas a positive correlation is observed with respect to the area, volume, and average fragment size <em>x</em><sub>50</sub>. Theoretical analysis shows that both the core opening angle and the total opening angle tend to increase as the stress intensity ratio <em>λ</em> increases.

Rock discontinuities can significantly impact the integrity, strength, and stability of rock masses. The orientation of these discontinuities is also a key characteristic of the rock mass. Accurate orientation estimation from point clouds enables more precise predictions of rock mass behavior, leading to improved safety, more efficient excavation processes, reduced operational costs, and significant time savings. In this context, a supervised classification-based framework is proposed for calculating orientation parameters from point cloud. Supervised classification plays a crucial role in tasks where a model learns complex patterns from labeled data to accurately predict previously unseen instances. The proposed method consists of eight-steps, including: data collection, pre-processing (data filtering), adaptive neighborhood size selection (omnivariance-based), feature extraction (geometric features), feature selection (Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance method), classification (Support Vector Machine), clustering (connected component labeling), and plane fitting to calculate orientation parameters (dip angle and dip direction). The framework was applied to two real-world datasets and one synthetic dataset, which was tested in two different subsampled forms (random and uniform subsampling). The results statistically demonstrated that the technique was effective in detecting and characterizing rock mass discontinuities with high Accuracy, Recall, Precision, and F-Score values ranging from 94.64% to 99.57%.

The gas leak evaluation is essential in such tests. Here we demonstrate that stabilized apparent permeability vs. applied load does not guarantee no-leak condition, but the gas leaks are effectively prevented by an applied epoxy-resin seal-ring around each planned test spot, including on rough and vuggy rocks. The steady-state gas flow and the transient pressure pulse-decay tests show very close agreement in permeability results, if the differential test pressures and gas flow rates are approximately the same. The permeabilities begin to differ if the pressures do not match resulting from non-Darcy gas flow effects that depend on the gas flow rate. The pressure-decay test is analyzed at small data segments to show the change of apparent permeability with differential pressure (from non-Darcy to Darcy regime). In tests on rocks of low permeability, the correction for environmental temperature variation is simple to implement. For rocks with permeability larger than about 10<sup>−17</sup> m<sup>2</sup>, the temperature variation does not affect the flow regime and no corrections need to be applied. Gas cooling due to depressurization did not significantly affect the transient pressure pulse-decay test results from later-time analysis of test data as low injection pressures are commonly used in pulse tests. However, impacts on early time data analysis need to be considered. The results of the absolute permeability from pressure-decay gas probe tests are matching published water-based permeameters within a half order of magnitude, which is within the uncertainty of these published data. On low-permeability granite, wider tests spots are better at testing the few dominant microfracture conduits than small spots.
