To investigate the variation in strength characteristics of cohesive soil subjected to drying-wetting cycles, silty clay was obtained from the Liangzhu archaeological site to prepare remolded soil sample. Subsequently, saturated consolidated undrained triaxial tests of control group, crack inhibition group, varied dry water content group and different overconsolidation ratio (OCR) group were carried out under different drying-wetting cycles. A thorough analysis of the test results reveals that the number of drying-wetting cycles does not affect the soil's critical state or phase transformation state. The strength of soil exposed to drying-wetting cycles is influenced by a combination of factors, including cracks formed during drying, overconsolidation, and hysteresis phenomenon. Specifically, cracks will destroy the integrity of the soil and thus reduce its strength, while overconsolidation and hysteresis contribute to an enhancement in soil strength. As the number of drying-wetting cycles increases, the prominence of cracks in the soil becomes more pronounced. Additionally, as the dry water content decreases, the deviatoric stress, excess pore water pressure, and effective stress path of soil continue to evolve in the direction of increasing OCR. This research enriches the study of the strength characteristics of clay under drying-wetting cycles, providing a foundation for the preventive protection of earthen sites in humid environments in geotechnical engineering.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"84 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The correlation of individual variables with wear behavior was accurately assessed by controlling the stability of other variables. Especially, to account for the combined effects of operational and geological strength variables on load-type variables, the concept of dynamic cutting pressure was introduced, which showed a stronger correlation with wear behavior than that of individual variables alone. Following the principle of dimensional consistency, an integrated wear prediction\u0000model was developed. Validation with data from another tunneling project confirmed the model's accuracy and applicability.

Such an approach can reduce the effort necessary to collect data and learn from incidents. The approach is well suited following natural disasters, where a wealth of field performance data may become available online through social media platforms and local news media. The steps to implement this approach involve: datamining the internet for crowdsourced data and particularly Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) footage of the incident, reconstructing the site morphology in the three-dimensional space by applying the Structure-from-Motion method, extracting insights from the crowdsourced data and conducting three-dimensional rockfall trajectory back-analysis. We demonstrate the approach through two incidents that occurred in Greece, where different amounts of crowdsourced data became available. We evaluate the proposed approach, discuss its limitations and benefits, and provide insights based on these two incidents. This paper shows that in both cases, the proposed approach enabled the rapid extraction of critical, perishable insights such as block detachment positions, block size, and fragment distribution. Also, the proposed approach allowed for the collection of all the input necessary to conduct detailed three-dimensional trajectory analyses. This supports the creation of high-precision inventories of both past and future incidents. Implementing this approach can enhance risk assessment accuracy, and inform mitigation strategies. The proposed approach allows the evaluation of geohazards globally fully remotely and possibly without the need for on-site visits. </p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"84 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10064-025-04218-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143655363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, accurately assessing these characteristics in high-position ancient landslides presents significant challenges due to the limited comprehensive investigations in the mountainous terrains in plateau. The risk assessment process for high-position landslides in plateau mountainous area is proposed in this study. The movement dynamics of the Peilong ancient landslide, located in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, is analyzed as an example of high-position ancient landslides. The assessment is conducted by the integration of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys and extensive field investigations. It explores the rapid runout behavior of landslides under conditions of severe earthquakes and heavy rainfall. The results from the temporal monitoring by InSAR technique indicates that rainfall is the primary trigger of displacement development of Peilong ancient landslide, rather than snowmelt infiltration due to rising temperatures. And landslide displacements occur with a lag behind rainfall. The likelihood of river obstruction is closely related to the trajectory of the landslide debris, with an elevated risk of blockage occurring near river channels. Additionally, terraces with gentle inclines are identified as critical areas susceptible to blockage in V-shaped river channels, while the central and adjacent regions of U-shaped channels are primary zones at risk. These findings enhance our understanding of the movement patterns of slow-moving, high-position ancient landslides, highlighting critical zones for targeted river blockage mitigation in mountainous landscapes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"84 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143655364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On September 17, 2011, a catastrophic loess landslide induced by rainfall occurred in Baqiao district, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China, resulting in 32 casualties and bringing great fear to the local residents. This landslide event was characterized by three individual landslides. Field investigations, geological exploration and model experiments were conducted to reveal its initiation and movement mechanisms. The results show that 1) Multiple groups of fissures in the ring-cut adits were found at a location 3 m inward from the slope surface. The minimum opening width of these fissures is 0.5 cm, and the maximum is 4 cm. The fissures develop nearly vertically and have good extensibility and connectivity. 2) the whole process of rainfall-induced landslides can be divided into 3 stages: rainfall infiltration and weight increase; crack expansion and slope deformation; slope collapse and creep deformation. 3) The volumetric water content, pore water pressure and vertical stress variation of the soil in our model all increase first and then decrease. Specifically, these three parameters increase slowly during the pretest and stabilization periods and increase fast shortly before the landslide occurrence. The volumetric water content of the soil on the side containing joints increases faster, verifying that the joints act as preferential channels that accelerate rainwater infiltration. The results of the study provide an important scientific foundation for future research on rainfall-induced loess landslides and their deep-seated mechanisms, and fill the gaps in research related to large-scale physical modeling experiments. </p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"84 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143645516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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, the investigation results, and re-design of the tunnel, are presented. The T3 Tunnel, which was built in 1933 with interlocking stone masonry lining, was cut by the Erkenek fault, one of the segments of the East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ), and a landslide was triggered around the tunnel portal. Under the influence of these two factors, collapse, and various deformations occurred in the tunnel. To understand the character of the failure, detailed geological, geophysical, and geotechnical studies were carried out in addition to in-situ observations. Subsequently, the tunnel was re-designed and repaired to open the railway to service. For this purpose, a re-design project was developed that included 2-stage engineering solutions including on-tunnel and in-tunnel construction efforts. In the first stage, the portal landslide was rehabilitated using support systems, and in the second stage, tunnel consolidation injection, redesign of the portal structure, and reconstruction of the tunnel support system were carried out. The obtained data and scientific evaluations are presented together with analyses. It is of vital importance that transportation structures continue to function during and after earthquakes. Therefore, the case presented in the study is one of the rare and interesting cases in terms of tunneling literature. The construction efforts in the T3 Tunnel were completed without any problems 6 months after the earthquakes, while more than 30,000 aftershocks continued.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"84 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10064-025-04217-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143645599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous efforts to predict PPV values have relied on empirical equations using parameters such as maximum charge per delay (MC) and distance from the blast face (D). Numerous attempts have employed machine learning (ML) to estimate PPV with the same input parameters. This study introduces a novel approach called empirical-driven ML (EDML), which integrates empirical equations and their outcomes as inputs for PPV prediction. EDML leverages existing knowledge to enhance model performance, interpretability, and generalization. For the EDML approach, four empirical equations, namely USBM, CMRI, General Predictor, and Ambraseys-Hendron have been chosen based on prior research. These four empirical equations were selected based on their good performance as reported in the literature. Using these equations’ PPV values as inputs, three advanced tree-based techniques (random forest, deep forest, and extreme gradient boosting) have been employed for model training. Comparison with the conventional ML approach (using only maximum charge per delay and distance from the blast face) reveals EDML’s superior predictive capacity for PPV estimation. Note that the inputs of these databases were directly and indirectly extracted from MC and D with the same PPV values. The proposed EDML approach effectively integrates data-driven insights with domain expertise, improving accuracy and interpretability through the inclusion of PPV and blasting observations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"84 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10064-025-04216-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143645515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
