Therefore, an integrated analytical model grounded in complex-variable theory is developed to evaluate the stress field, ultimate bearing capacity, cracking load, and crack width, with staged construction explicitly considered. The model is validated against 3D numerical simulations (WMAPE ≤ 5.82 %, <em>R</em><sup>2</sup> &gt; 0.993) and physical model tests (WMAPE ≤ 18.95 %, <em>R</em><sup>2</sup> &gt; 0.919). A threshold effect of secondary-lining installation timing is revealed, contributing 10–25 % to ultimate capacity and markedly influencing cracking behavior. Internal water pressure is identified as the dominant driver of cracking (contribution &gt;52 %), whereas ultimate capacity is governed primarily by the interaction between in situ stress and construction timing (contribution &gt;80 %). A response-surface-based design envelope has been developed to optimize lining thickness and support installation timing for crack control, offering a tool for selecting the optimal secondary lining thickness and support timing under specified burial depths and internal water pressures. By linking mechanical response analysis to performance criteria under realistic construction and loading sequences, a key methodological gap is closed and performance-based design and evaluation of deep hydraulic tunnels are enabled. The approach provides a transparent, computationally efficient alternative to computationally intensive simulations and offers quantitative guidance for crack-control design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49414,"journal":{"name":"Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology","volume":"171 ","pages":"Article 107429"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145928309","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}

At present, the insufficient adaptability of conventional active support strategy which is “Excavate First and Then Support” (EFTS) has limitations in the prevention of the dynamic damage of rockburst. To address the limitations of rockburst prevention, this study proposes a “Proactive-Prevention and Post-Resistant” support (PPS) method for dynamic stability control, which consists of two consecutive steps. First, an initial tunnel with reduced diameter is excavated, followed by installation of pre-stressed rockbolt beyond the designed profile to establish an advanced pressure arch. Subsequently, the tunnel is expanded to the designed cross-section with supplementary reinforcement measures. This new strategy collaboratively combines the stress redistribution effect caused by the initial tunnel geometry, thereby alleviating the degradation of surrounding rock strength caused by excavation and improving the stability of the rock mass. In addition, this strategy takes advantage of the energy absorption capacity of pre-stressed anchor rods, effectively suppressing the risks associated with instantaneous energy release. A case study was conducted on the diversion tunnel No.3 of the Jinping II hydropower station. The evolution of advanced pressure arch boundaries under varying initial tunnel diameters was systematically investigated, as well as the effectiveness of the PPS method. Validation results demonstrate that compared to EFTS support strategy, the PPS method significantly reduces rockburst intensity from widespread moderate to severe rockburst to none or minor rockburst. Mechanistic analysis confirms that this strategy effectively minimizes tangential stress concentration by optimizing pressure arch geometry while enhancing energy dissipation efficiency. The PPSmethod provides a new perspective and methodology for rockburst mitigation in deep large-section hard rock tunnels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49414,"journal":{"name":"Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology","volume":"171 ","pages":"Article 107402"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145928419","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}

This study therefore developed an 1 <em>g</em> model test system that realistically simulates the EPB excavation process, incorporating cutterhead rotation and chamber pressure regulation to investigate tunnel face stability and ground subsidence in sandy soils. The experiments show that the load factor (<em>N</em><sub>γ</sub>)​ at face failure increases from 0.114 to 0.172 as the cover-to-diameter ratio rises from 1 to 3, and from 0.129 to 0.172 as the cutterhead opening ratio increases from 15 % to 50 %. Additionally, small opening ratios (e.g., 15 %) is found to enhance face stability by providing stronger mechanical support, while larger ratios (e.g., 30 % and 50 %) amplify excavation-induced soil disturbance, diminishing face stability. This dual influence highlights the importance of incorporating dynamic excavation process and cutterhead opening ratio in face stability analysis. Moreover, settlement troughs become wider and deeper with higher opening ratios and shallower cover depths, indicating that within densely populated urban areas or beneath sensitive infrastructures, adopting a low opening ratio (e.g., 15 %) can effectively minimize ground disturbance and mitigate its associated risks to overlying structures, especially for shallowly buried tunnels. Finally, consistency between model predictions and field observations from Chengdu Metro Line 4 confirms the model’s predictive reliability and practical applicability in evaluating face stability.

This study establishes a finite volume model (FVM) incorporating afterburning effects to investigate shockwave propagation and fireball thermal effects in corrugated steel-lined tunnels. It is demonstrated that corrugated grooves disrupt shockwave reflection continuity, inducing intermittent reflections and wavefront fragmentation, accelerating energy dissipation and reducing peak overpressure by 27.3 % in tunnels with <em>λ</em> = 150 mm and <em>h</em> = 60 mm versus concrete linings. The attenuation efficiency of shock wave impulse in corrugated steel-lined tunnels decreases monotonically with increasing <em>λ</em>/<em>h</em> ratio. The lower the <em>λ</em>/<em>h</em> ratio, the larger the effective scattering area, causing wavefront fragmentation and multi-path interference, which in turn enhances energy dissipation through wavefront disruption. Additionally, the corrugated structure generates turbulent disturbances and periodic vortex damping effects. These effects causing the expansion of localized high-temperature zones, simultaneously lead to a substantial reduction in fireball volume due to intensified convective heat dissipation and path disruption. In the corrugated steel-lined tunnel with a corrugation wavelength of <em>λ</em> = 150 mm and wave height of <em>h</em> = 70 mm, the maximum propagation distances of fireballs are decreased by 13.1 %.

To investigate the multi-scale cracking mechanisms in hydraulic lining concrete structures, this study designed a loading apparatus for lining concrete members. Experiments were conducted with early-age loading, formwork removal time, and post-removal environmental temperature and humidity as test variables. The results indicate that early-age loading enhanced the tensile strength of the concrete, delayed cracking time, and increased the cracking load. Advancing the formwork removal time to one day accelerated the development of tensile stresses, causing cracks to propagate throughout the surface. Moisture-retaining curing after formwork removal both improved the development of tensile strength and mitigated the evolution of tensile stress, thereby preventing crack formation.
