In this study, a Rotary Drilling System Instrument (RDSI) is developed to enable continuous and real-time monitoring of drilling parameters during the drilling process, including torque, drilling speed, rotation speed, and drilling thrust. A new method is proposed for measuring rock properties and the interface between different rock layers. Experiments were conducted to study the characteristic response of lithology under intact rock and combined rock masses during the drilling process. The results indicated that the intelligent monitoring system can effectively enable smart control and real-time monitoring of critical drilling parameters. The finding is the variation in torque and drilling thrust values encountered during drilling into different rock formations. The distribution and variability of torque and drilling thrust values can be utilized as an effective means to distinguish between core pieces and non-core pieces. A field drilling test is performed at the Sanhekou Water Conservancy Project to effectively identify the distribution of rock strata and joints. The average value of drilling specific energy (DSE) remains within the average range of this type of lithology, which is 53.5 MJ/m<sup>3</sup>. The hardness, brittleness, and other properties of rocks can be indirectly assessed by monitoring the DSE. This research provides both theoretical and practical techniques, and advancing the field of geotechnical engineering.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"84 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143908627","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}

Despite numerous prevention measures, these slopes often undergo repeated failures due to excavation and rainfall. The Songkan slope is a typical example, where two failures occurred despite extensive efforts in design and construction. This study investigates the causes of these failures through onsite investigations and monitoring. Additionally, a new FLAC3D-TOUGH hydromechanical coupling framework that considers rainfall-induced strength degradation is constructed to reveal the failure mechanism by examining the spatiotemporal evolution of pore pressure and effective stress, as well as changes in overall and local stability. These findings suggest that the primary intrinsic direct factor of both failures was the rainfall-induced degradation effect. In the first failure, the designers underestimated the sensitivity of weathered solution-collapse breccia to excavation-induced unloading and rainfall-induced degradation effects. In the second failure, a late repair of the site drainage system resulted in persistent water accumulation at the slope toe. Under the continued influence of the rainfall-induced degradation effect, the reduction in sliding resistance was not alleviated. Moreover, the delayed reinforcement failed to provide the necessary sliding resistance promptly, and its resistance was insufficient to prevent slope movement. This study revealed that both types of failure were related to identifying and controlling causative factors, timing, and quality control of slope drainage engineering. Consequently, relevant engineering insights have been integrated to provide substantial theoretical contributions and practical guidance for addressing similar geotechnical challenges.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"84 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143908773","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}

There have been a great number of numerical simulations and analytical solutions that study the tunneling-induced ground stress. This paper conducts a series of physical model tests to measure the stress state evolution of the surrounding soil during the tunnel advancing process. The ground compactness, as the most critical factor that determines the mechanical properties of sand, is the control variable in different groups of tests. The measurement results show that at the tunnel crown, the minor principal stress <i>σ</i><sub>3</sub>, which is along the vertical direction, decreases to 0 kPa when the relative density (<i>D</i><sub>r</sub>) of the ground is 35% or 55%. Therefore, we can deduce that the sand above the crown collapses. When <i>D</i><sub>r</sub> = 80%, <i>σ</i><sub>3</sub> does not reach 0 kPa but its variation gradient is very fast. At the shoulder, the direction angles of three principal stresses are calculated to confirm the existence of the principal stress rotation during tunnel excavation. As the ground becomes denser, the degree of the principal stress rotation gradually decreases. According to the limited variation of the normal stress components and short stress paths at the springline, the loosened region is found to be concentrated near the excavation section, especially in dense ground. As a result, different measures should be taken to deal with the tunnel excavation problem in the ground with different compactness.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"84 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143904690","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}

Hydraulic fracturing for increasing production is significantly affected by rock brittleness and in-situ stress level. In this study, a geometric mean-based comprehensive index (GMCI) was proposed from experimental analyses. Subsequently, the effect of brittleness on failure modes and acoustic emission (AE) characteristics was analyzed. Finally, a three-dimensional numerical model was established considering pore pressure, in-situ stress, and fractures at the field scale to analyze the hydraulic fracturing in deep sandstone oil reservoirs, which was validated by microseismic monitoring (MS) results. The research results indicate that the brittleness of deep sandstones can be effectively evaluated with the GMCI method. With the increase of confining pressure, the overall trend of the brittleness index decreases; this is consistent with the failure mode in the experiments. With increasing brittle mineral content, the failure modes change from single shear failure to composite failure with multiple fractures, resulting in different AE vibration modes. With increasing burial depth of the reservoir by 400 m, the fracture length and width were reduced by 35.5% and 36.5%, respectively, and the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) was reduced by 33.6%. The brittle response of a sandstone reservoir is limited, resulting in a significant decrease in fracture complexity and fracturing effect.

However, few studies have been conducted on the failure mechanisms of cutting slopes under earthquakes and rainfall. In this study, field electrical measurements were conducted to evaluate the damage to a cutting slope hit by the Yangbi Earthquake (MS = 6.4) in Yunnan Province, China. After material segmentation using the resistivity probability density statistical method, we observed several damaged areas running along the slope depth direction, forming several potential sliding surfaces. Furthermore, considering the slope damage after the earthquake, a discrete element model of the slope was developed, and the dynamic process of the gravel–soil landslide under rainfall was analyzed. Compared with low cutting slope with thin overburden sliding along one sliding surface, the results indicate that the high cutting slope with thick overburden slides along several sliding surfaces that formed by the earthquake—step sliding mods. Slope sliding can be divided into four stages: First, the slope body at the bottom area slid and accelerated firstly, while several cracks appear on the top area due to tension (initial stage and acceleration stage). Thereafter, the upper slope body gradually slides along its respective sliding surface. The body at the bottom area of the slope was pushed by that at the upper area and slid at a high velocity along the sliding surfaces due to secondary acceleration (secondary acceleration stage). Finally, the sliding velocity of the slope gradually decreases, and an accumulation is formed, entering a stable stage (deceleration stage).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"84 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143904737","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}
