However, with the construction of engineering projects, red-bed-related disasters have become increasingly prominent. This study focuses on tunnel deformation in the red-bed sandstone-mudstone interface section of the Leye Tunnel on the Chongqing-Kunming High-Speed Railway. By utilizing on-site data collection, laboratory testing, and numerical simulation methods, we developed a systematic research approach for red-bed tunnel deformation encompassing macroscopic mechanical characteristics, mesoscopic contact characteristics, and microscopic damage characteristics. This method clarifies the multi-scale degradation-disaster preparation characteristics of the red-bed lithological interface and their impact on tunnel deformation and instability. The study results indicate that the lithologic interface is a fundamental factor controlling deformations in red-bed tunnels and is also crucial in determining the deformation and failure modes of the lining structures. Sandstone, with its strong mechanical properties and occlusal mineral contacts, resulting in cracks in the initial support. In contrast, mudstone has weaker mechanical properties, with mineral particles encapsulated by clay minerals, which manifests as deformation of the steel arch in the lining structure. Notably, when the mudstone-to-sandstone ratio on the palm face is 1:1, the tunnel displacement field area is significantly larger than that of homogeneous stratum sections on both sides. However, surrounding rock deformation is controlled by the stronger sandstone. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the engineering geological problems caused by the red-bed, to guarantee the efficient implementation of the major national strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11567,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology","volume":"357 ","pages":"Article 108314"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144922430","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}

Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) assesses whether measures give a positive societal net benefit and thereby indicates how society’s limited resources can be used efficiently. For a CBA to be valid, all costs and benefits for all affected stakeholders should be included. This implies that a thorough and comprehensive identification of cost and benefit items is the crucial basis for the development of a CBA. In this paper, a novel and comprehensive approach for identifying benefit and cost items of implementing hydrogeological risk-mitigation measures is presented for application in underground construction. The novelty lies in the procedure of integrating hydrogeological knowledge of common underground type settings with the cascade model—a well-established framework for linking natural, social, and economic systems (<span><span>Haines-Young and Potschin-Young, 2018</span></span>)—and categorizing leakage-induced risks, and thereby the potential benefits of mitigating these risks have been systematically identified. Relevant groundwater leakage-induced cascades are presented in a general format, together with examples from the literature for providing a user-friendly tool for risk identification that considers the whole chain of events from groundwater impact to social and economic consequences. The combination of using the basis of the cascade model together with international literature results in a general method that is applicable across various hydrogeological settings. The generic arrangement of the presented cascades also enables application as new construction technologies emerge since the initiation of a cascade is not fixed to a certain technology but rather to the effects on the groundwater conditions from the construction activity. An identification of cost and benefit items in two railway tunnel projects in Sweden is also presented as a qualitative CBA to demonstrate the usability of the risk cascades as a basis for identification of items to subsequently be monetized in a quantitative CBA. Finally, the paper discusses the upcoming steps, challenges, and strategies to handle them, associated with obtaining a complete quantitative CBA.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11567,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology","volume":"357 ","pages":"Article 108308"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144933396","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}

In this study, an improved Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is developed, incorporating a particle domain search algorithm to simulate the pile-anchor structures. Besides, a fracture indicator is introduced to refine the smooth kernel function, enabling accurate tracking of damaged particles, while the contact behavior between damaged particles is rigorously defined using a point-to-point contact algorithm. The improved SPH method accurately reproduces the large deformation and progressive failure processes of the rock slope pile-anchor coupled reinforcement system (SPAS) with bedding weak zones. Anchors exhibit optimal performance within a specific range of anchor length, spacing, and inclination, thereby inducing failure mode transitions of SPAS. Notably, a U-shaped relationship with anchor inclination angle is observed in SPAS stability due to the reinforcement of intermediate-angle anchors on the dominant failure path. The reinforcement effect is also highly sensitive to the angle between anchors and bedding planes.
