Physical model tests can intuitively reproduce the evolution process of engineering disasters, which are important means of studying scientific problems in underground engineering and disaster prevention. On the basis of summarizing and reviewing research achievements on the physical model test of underground engineering in five aspects: similarity theory, physical model construction, multi-field environment simulation, engineering activity reproduction and multi-source information monitoring, the future prospects of physical model test of underground engineering are proposed. It is found that the hypergravity simulation technology can widen the parameter selection range of similar materials by extending the similarity constant. The physico-mechanical properties of similar materials can be regulated quantitatively by changing the raw material proportion and mixture ratio. The curing principle of similar materials can be classified as physical compaction, inorganic cementation, organic cementation, molten sintering, and ultraviolet curing. The construction technologies of physical models can be divided into mold method, masonry method and 3D printing method. The creation of physical fields such as true triaxial stress, water pressure, temperature, gas pressure, and stress gradients, as well as the reproduction of engineering activities such as cavern excavation and tunnel mining, can be realized in a physical model. Model test monitoring technologies and data processing methods are used for data collection, processing and interpretation in the entire testing process. It is recommended to further refine the similarity theories for simulating the whole process of engineering disasters, optimize the performance of similar materials, develop refined preparation technologies of complex three-dimensional structures, similar revivification technologies of multi-field coupling environments, high-quality reproduction technologies of engineering activities, and whole-domain multi-source intelligent monitoring systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56013,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Geotechnics","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101594"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144196308","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}

Conventional large-scale direct shear tests and novel large-scale cyclic simple shear tests were performed to investigate the effects of tire-derived aggregate (TDA) content, with particle sizes varying between 22.4 mm and 50 mm. The results indicate that adding 5 % by the mass of TDA slightly reduced the friction angle from 46.6° to 44.5°, which is not a significant change compared to RB. However, increasing the TDA content to 10 % led to a notable decrease in the friction angle to 41°, highlighting the significant impact of higher TDA content on the shear strength behavior. Further, incorporating 5 % TDA improved the shear modulus and damping ratio relative to RB, which is attributed mainly to the similar larger particle sizes (22.4–50 mm) of TDA. Conversely, at 10 % TDA content, reductions in both shear modulus and damping ratio were observed. The ballast breakage index (BBI), evaluated through cyclic simple shear tests, showed a significant decrease from 15 % for RB to 9.5 % for the ballast sample containing 5 % TDA. Additionally, increased TDA content enhanced material durability, reducing Los Angeles abrasion (LAA) losses from an initial 33.5 to under 30 % at 5 % TDA. These findings demonstrate that incorporating 5 % by mass of TDA into RB material is optimal for enhancing deformation characteristics and reducing ballast degradation while maintaining adequate shear strength.

This study explores a rational mix design, a modified McLeod method, for Otta seal application considering local material properties, and compares it with existing design guidelines. The study involves constructing test sections following a rational design technique and conventional Overby recommended guidelines. The performance of the test sections was assessed by testing skid resistance, surface roughness, dust generation, and structural stiffness over a two-year period. The test section constructed following the modified McLeod method outperformed sections built per traditional Overby guidelines in terms of cost-effectiveness and overall performance. Specifically, the test section that was constructed using the modified McLeod method exhibited the lowest roughness, dust, and loose aggregate from the surface. Results from life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) highlight the economic benefits of the rational mix design technique, demonstrating the economic advantages of the rational mix design, showcasing lower construction and maintenance costs. By adapting the modified McLeod method to suit the local aggregate materials, engineers can achieve more appropriate and accurate application rates for both aggregates and binders, thereby optimizing the performance of the overall mixture.

Identifying the instability target areas along the railway and capturing its deformation trend is one of the most effective methods for controlling this hazard. However, the traditional methods of monitoring and analyzing deformation along the railway line are too single, resulting in the inability to carry out comprehensive identification of deformation and advance prediction. Hence, a method using multi-source data is proposed to monitor and predict surface deformation along railway lines in karst areas. Taking the Guangzhou part of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway in China as an example, the hazards and adjacent human engineering activities along the railway are monitored by using multi-source means of “Space-Air-Ground” at first. Secondly, taking the time-series deformation values as the data basis, the wavelet transform (<em>WT</em>) algorithm is used to reduce the noise of the time-series deformation in the three historical subgrade karst collapse points. Five classical machine learning (<em>ML</em>) models are used for the prediction analysis of the deformation, and the optimal <em>ML</em> model is utilized to advance prediction. The results show: 1) There are two settlement target areas along the railway, and the settlement range is expanding and the cumulative settlement increases year by year in 2021–2023, with the maximum cumulative settlement of −118.01 mm. 2) The characteristic points in Area A continue to sink from 2019 to 2023, with a maximum cumulative settlement of −108.01 mm. The characteristic points in Area B continue to sink from 2021 to June 2023 due to disturbance from adjacent projects. 3) The prediction effect of the <em>WT-LSTM</em> is optimal through prediction analysis, and the scale of future deformation prediction is about one year based on the results of the advance prediction.

Furthermore, geogrids also contribute to preserving the uniformity of the stiffness distribution over a wide area, proving the increased reliability provided by stabilization. In most common pavement design and evaluation methodologies, permanent deformation is an essential component for long-term pavement performance assessment. For example, the AASHTO (Association of State Highway Transportation Officials) R50 standard considers permanent deformation for the derivation of the traffic benefit ratio (TBR) or base course reduction (BCR) factor. Although full-scale accelerated pavement testing or in-service pavement testing is ideal for assessing permanent deformation responses, such testing may not be feasible to perform in a wide range of situations, including diverse subgrade types, climatic zones, and material types. An alternative is to use large-scale plate load testing for in-situ material characterization. Automated Plate Load Testing (APLT) is a field-based plate load testing system for applying dynamic loads and measuring permanent and resilient deformations. For this paper, APLTs were conducted to measure permanent deformations on several pavement sections consisting of different aggregate base course (ABC) thicknesses, ABC material types, multi-axial geogrids, and subgrade conditions. Several machine learning techniques, including Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA), Gene Expression Programming (GEP), Customized Non-linear Regression (CNR), Traditional Machine Learning (TML), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), were explored to develop prediction models for permanent deformation.

By combining the concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model with the finite element method, a coupled simulation model of the slab track-tunnel-surrounding rock system has been established.

The results demonstrate that under normal fault dislocation, track irregularity, structural damage, and the interlayer gap all increase as fault displacement grows. Owing to its relatively higher structural stiffness, the CRTS II slab track is more susceptible to stress concentration, thereby leading to more severe damage to the track slab and base plate, as well as larger interlayer gaps. Specifically, the maximum damage variable of the track slab in the CRTS II slab track is 16 times that of the CRTS III slab track, and its maximum interlayer gap is 1.3 times larger than that of CRTS III slab track. By contrast, the unit-type design of the CRTS III slab track endows it with better adaptability to foundation deformation and mitigates stress concentration. However, this design leads to more increased track irregularity. The maximum upward bending deflection of the rail on the hanging wall side of the fault in the CRTS III slab track is twice as large as that of the CRTS II slab track. Under reverse fault dislocation, compared to normal fault dislocation, the compressive effects reduce structural damage, yet the trends of deformation and interlayer contact remain consistent with the variation of fault displacement.
