When tunneling in cobble stratum or mixed face ground conditions, significant cutting-induced cutterhead vibration would occur and affect the face stability. To reveal the mechanism and effect of vibration on the tunnel face stability, a transparent tunnel model with a movable vibration exciter was designed and a series of model tests were performed under different vibration magnitudes <em>A</em>_a and frequencies <em>f</em>. Meanwhile, particle image velocimetry was used to reveal the displacement field and the failure pattern of the tunnel face. The test results indicate that the cutting-induced vibration produces a significant reduction effect on the tunnel face stability, as expressed by the increase of the face support pressure and the failure zone when the vibration magnitude and frequency increase. Compared with the static unloading conditions, the width of the failure wedge <em>L</em>_wt increased by about 5.75% and 35.66% for the loose and dense sand, respectively, under dynamic unloading conditions (<em>A</em>_a = 0.2<em>g</em>, <em>f</em> = 10 Hz).

This paper proposed a novel classification model for quality grades of surrounding rock in TBM tunnels based on multifractal analysis theory. Initially, the statistical characteristics of eight TBM cycle data with different grades of surrounding rock were explored. Subsequently, the method of calculating and analyzing the multifractal characteristic parameters of the TBM operational data was deduced and summarized. The research results showed that the TBM operational parameters of cutterhead torque, total thrust, advance rate, and cutterhead rotation speed have significant multifractal characteristics. Its multifractal dimension, midpoint slope of the generalized fractal spectrum, and singularity strength range can be used to evaluate the surrounding rock grades of the tunnel. Finally, a novel classification model for the tunnel surrounding rocks based on the multifractal characteristic parameters was proposed using the multiple linear regression method, and the model was verified through four TBM cycle data containing different surrounding rock grades. The results showed that the proposed multifractal-based classification model for tunnel surrounding rocks has high accuracy and applicability.

It was realized that solute transport in fractured rocks is controlled by stochastic discrete fracture-matrix systems. However, the impacts and specific uncertainty caused by fracture network structures on solute transport in discrete fracture-matrix systems have yet not been fully understood. In this article, we aim to investigate the influence of fracture network structure on solute transport in stochastic discrete fracture-matrix systems. The fluid flow and solute transport are simulated using a three-dimensional discrete fracture matrix model with considering various values of fracture density and size (i.e., radius). The obtained results reveal that as the fracture density or minimum fracture radius increases, the corresponding fluid flow and solute transport channels increase, and the solute concentration distribution range expands in the matrix. This phenomenon, attributed to the enhanced connectivity of the fracture network, leads to a rise in the effluent solute concentration mean value from 0.422 to 0.704, or from 0.496 to 0.689. Furthermore, when solute transport reached a steady state, the coefficient of variation of effluent concentration decreases with the increasing fracture density or minimum fracture radius in different scenarios, indicating an improvement in the homogeneity of solute transport results. The presented analysis results of solute transport in stochastic discrete fracture-matrix systems can be helpful for uncertainty management in the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48505,"journal":{"name":"Underground Space","volume":"20 ","pages":"Pages 69-82"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2467967424000837/pdfft?md5=e1fe3b3631546be68a8186376f3b0a76&pid=1-s2.0-S2467967424000837-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142240876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is especially true for large-diameter shield tunnels that have numerous segments and joints, and are exposed to specific fire conditions in certain areas. This paper constructs a full-scale shield tunnel fire test platform and conducts a non-uniform fire test using the lining system of a three-ring large-diameter shield tunnel with an inner diameter of 10.5 m. Based on the tests, the temperature field distribution, high-temperature bursting, cracking phenomena, and deformation under fire conditions are observed. Furthermore, the post-fire damage forms of tunnel lining structures are obtained through the post-fire ultimate loading test, and the corresponding mechanism is explained. The test results illustrate that the radial and circumferential distribution of internal temperature within the tunnel lining, as well as the radial temperature gradient distribution on the inner surface of the lining, have non-uniform distribution characteristics. As a result, the macroscopic phenomena of lining concrete bursting and crack development during the fire test mainly occur near the fire source, where the temperature rise gradient is the highest. In addition, the lining structure has a deformation characteristic of local outward expansion and cannot recover after the fire load is removed. The ultimate form of damage after the fire is dominated by crush damage from the inside out of the lining joints in the fire-exposed area.

The LRC consisting of an inner steel lining and an outer reinforced concrete is situated within the rock mass characterised by spatially distributed and intersected fractures. An elasto-brittle constitutive relationship is adopted to characterise the deformation/failure of intact rocks, while the classical Mazars damage model is used to simulate the cracking of concrete linings. For pre-existing fractures in rock, a non-linear stress-displacement formulation is implemented to capture their normal and shear deformations. The 2D model, representing the horizontal cross-section of an LRC with its surrounding rock mass, is subject to a prescribed in situ stress condition. We explore various fracture network scenarios associated with different values of power law length exponent and fracture intensity. We analyse the damage evolution in rock/concrete and tangential strain in the concrete/steel linings. It is found that the damage within the rock mass mainly evolves in the form of wing cracks that emanate from the tips of pre-existing fractures. For damage development in the concrete lining, it is primarily induced by tensile cracking under cavern pressurisation. The damage emerges in the lining sections where pre-existing fractures are located in the tensile region around the cavern and either intersect with the cavern wall or could reach the cavern wall by promoting wing crack propagation.
