The study specifically evaluates the role of excavation depth and the relative embedment of diaphragm walls in shaping the response of the system. Three configurations were assessed based on their position in relation to the piles: near the upper part of the piles, close to the base, and entirely below the pile base. Additional simulations were carried out for a geogrid-reinforced piled embankment in the deepest excavation scenario and for an embankment supported by end-bearing piles in the intermediate depth case. The hypoplastic constitutive model for clay was employed to account for nonlinearity in soil behaviour influenced by stress variation, dilation, and stiffness reduction. The hypoplastic clay model parameters were calibrated using laboratory test data, and validated through back-analysis of a centrifuge test reported in earlier research. The results reveal that deeper excavations produce greater settlement, particularly affecting piles situated close to the excavation zone. Settlements ranged from 10 to 28 mm, with lateral deflections of the piles increasing substantially as excavation progressed. Stress redistribution within the embankment altered the load transfer mechanisms, reducing the effectiveness of soil arching and increasing load concentration on the piles. The highest load intensities were observed adjacent to the excavation face. The geogrid-reinforced system displayed better performance by limiting ground deformation and improving load distribution, while end-bearing piles demonstrated superior resistance to excavation-induced settlement and movement compared to floating piles. This study emphasizes the need for careful design and monitoring when excavations are conducted near piled embankments, particularly in soft soils.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49414,"journal":{"name":"Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 107099"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145108558","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, car-following behavior characteristics in long freeway tunnels with crest vertical curves remain unclear. To provide design references for newly constructed long freeway tunnels and establish traffic safety management guidelines for existing ones, this study designed a freeway model involving 10 tunnels with varied vertical alignment configurations. A driving simulation test was conducted with 35 participants to investigate the zonal characteristics of car-following behaviors in long freeway tunnels and their relationship with vertical alignment design. Time headway and safety margin were selected as key indicators. The Kruskal-Wallis test and mixed linear regression were employed to analyze the impacts of grade, grade change, and zonal characteristics on these indicators. The results indicated that time-headway initially increased and then decreased along the tunnel, while safety margin exhibited a continuous downward trend. Both time headway and safety margin were significantly influenced by grade, grade change, and zonal characteristics. The probability of maintaining safe safety margin decreased progressively as vehicles traveled deeper into the tunnel. The lowest probabilities were observed in Zone 7 under the conditions of the entrance grade as −1.5%, the exit grade as −3%, and grade change as 6%, whose probabilities were 0.628, 0.603, and 0.497, respectively. Based on the analysis results, this paper proposed that ensuring a gentle uphill entrance, maximizing exit gradients, and controlling grade changes below 3% could reduce rear-end collision risks caused by inappropriate car-following behaviors. Additionally, traffic management agencies should implement distance-control and speed control reminders in the latter sections of such tunnels to alert drivers control adequate speed and car-following distance. The outcome of this paper provides scientific basis for both freeway tunnel design and management authorities, and help mitigate driving risks in long freeway tunnel.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49414,"journal":{"name":"Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 107095"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145108561","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}

Traditional mechanical methods have proven ineffective in mitigating cutterhead adhesion. This study proposes a synergistic adhesion-reduction method combining anti-clay agents and electro-osmosis. The adhesion reduction and desorption mechanisms were systematically investigated through tilted plate test, Atterberg limits measurements, zeta potential test and microstructural analysis. The efficacy and intrinsic mechanisms of adhesion reduction and desorption under single chemical conditioning, single electro-osmosis and their synergistic conditioning were evaluated across varying bentonite contents, water contents, and voltage levels. The results showed that when using single anti-clay agent conditioning, although soil aggregation can be effectively reduced, adhesion at the clay-metal interface cannot be adequately addressed. With single electro-osmosis conditioning, when the threshold conditions of water content &gt; 35 % and voltage &gt; 5 V are met, effective adhesion reduction and desorption at the interface can be achieved. Moreover, higher bentonite content leads to longer mud cake slip-off time. Under chemical-electric synergetic conditioning, the water content threshold decreases to 30 % and the voltage threshold to 3 V, with slip-off time shortened to one-fifth of that under single electro-osmosis, greatly improving efficiency. For soil samples with varying bentonite contents, the patterns of single electro-osmosis and chemical-electric synergetic conditioning are generally consistent: mud cake slip-off time significantly decreases with increasing voltage and water content, exhibiting a distinct three-stage variation. Compared to single anti-clay agent or electro-osmosis conditioning, chemical-electric synergetic conditioning achieves superior adhesion reduction.

Previous studies on support timing primarily utilized the convergence-confinement method. However, the support timing determined by this method corresponds to a period where surrounding rock displacement is within a rapidly increasing stage of instability, making it difficult to guarantee the safety of support operations. Based on the continuous cusp mutation theory, this paper proposes a novel method for determining the optimal support timing for roadway surrounding rock-the stress mutation method. Firstly, using the stress from the monitoring cross-section during roadway excavation as the state variable, a continuous cusp mutation analysis model is established. Then, this model is employed to identify the location of stress mutation, pinpointing the critical instability point of the surrounding rock as the optimal support timing. Finally, the safety factors of the surrounding rock and the support structure are solved to evaluate the engineering stability achieved when supporting according to the new method. The rationality of the support timing determined by the new method is validated through an engineering case study. The results demonstrate that, compared to the convergence-confinement method, the support timing determined by the stress mutation method resulted in a displacement increment of the surrounding rock that was only 33.7% of that observed with the convergence-confinement method, while maintaining comparable levels of safety in both surrounding rock stability and support structure performance. Moreover, the collapse probability was reduced by 67%. The stress mutation method effectively circumvents the safety hazards associated with rapidly increasing surrounding rock displacement, ensuring support effectiveness. This demonstrates its stronger scientific validity and rationality. The findings provide a novel perspective for selecting support timing in roadway surrounding rock engineering.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49414,"journal":{"name":"Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 107097"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145108582","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}
