However, limited studies have addressed the interaction between tunnel step-by-step advancement and the shallow foundations under realistic three-dimensional loading conditions. In this research, comprehensive three-dimensional finite element models were employed to investigate some important aspects of surface footings resting above a mechanized tunnel. The study focused on the ultimate bearing capacity under vertical and inclined loads; the failure envelope under combined vertical (<em>V</em>), horizontal (<em>H</em>), and bending moment (<em>M</em>) loads; the surface displacements; the influence of the tunnel embedment depth; the soil arching effects; and the loosened zone around the tunnel-footing system. A case study of Tehran Metro Line 6-Southern Extension (TML6-SE) was considered in which the EPBS cutterhead was considered at different distances to the surface footing. According to the results, when the cutterhead reached the beginning of the footing, the ultimate vertical bearing capacity was reduced by more than 45% compared to the no-tunnel scenario. As the cutterhead advanced beyond the footing, this reduction in the ultimate bearing capacity gradually diminished, eventually reaching only 3%. At the same relative position of the cutterhead to the footing, the maximum failure bending moment under combined loading also experienced a reduction of approximately 29.2%. Additionally, based on significant variations in the ratio of shear strain to failure shear strain, as a quantitative criterion, the soil was considered loosened within a zone extending approximately to 0.30<em>D</em> (<em>D</em>: tunnel diameter) above the tunnel crown. The bearing capacity of the surface footing was not affected when the tunnel depth exceeds approximately 2<em>D</em>.

However, cement-based TSLs often suffer from brittleness and limited flexibility. This study investigated the effects of styrene‒acrylic emulsions (SAEs) on the mechanical properties, crack resistance and support performance of cement-based TSLs. Two SAEs with different styrene to butyl acrylate ratios were incorporated at varying contents (0–70 % by liquid mass) into the TSL mixture. A series of mechanical and microstructure tests, including tensile, compressive, flexural, and shear strength tests, XRD, SEM, and MIP, were conducted. The results revealed that both SAEs can enhance the deformation resistance of cement-based TSLs, with SAE1 demonstrating a more pronounced improvement effect. Moreover, both SAEs improved the tensile strength and flexural strength. SAE2 outperformed SAE1 in enhancing the tensile strength (peaking at 40 % SAE2 with 3.6300 MPa) and flexural strength (8.3789 MPa at 40 % SAE2). SAE1 decreased the compressive and shear strengths, whereas SAE2 increased the compressive strength and shear strength. Microstructural analysis showed that the polymer films formed by SAEs bridged the hydration products, densified the matrix, and improved the crack resistance. Moreover, the support performance of SAE-modified TSLs was evaluated through load-bearing compression tests on TSL-coated granite. The results showed that both SAE1- and SAE2-modified TSLs can improve the peak strength and strain of flawed granite.

This process is characterized by a three-dimensional spiral vortex structure, involving both radial and longitudinal diffusion, driven by the combined effects of thermal buoyancy, inertial forces, and sidewall confinement. The smoke bifurcation leads to a redistribution of mass and heat within the smoke layer, forming a central low-temperature region beneath the tunnel ceiling. The range of the smoke layer expands with increasing tunnel aspect ratio and ventilation velocity but decreases with higher heat release rates. Finally, a theoretical model to estimate the length of low-temperature region is proposed and validated, accounting for the complex interactions between the Coanda effect, anti-buoyancy sidewall jets, and plume behavior.

Quantitative analysis using a 6 × 5 risk matrix revealed that major risks stemmed from environmental hazards and mechanical failure. The proposed framework eliminated all high- and medium–high-risk elements by redistributing them into lower-risk categories through the implementation of prevention and mitigation barriers. HAZOP analysis confirmed previously unidentified process-level deviations, enhancing the overall system robustness.
