It is beneficial to indirectly determine V<sub>s</sub> under both dry and saturated conditions and to understand its relationship with influencing input variables: coring depth (H), durability index (DI), water content (W<sub>a</sub>), dry density (ρ<sub>d</sub>), saturated density (ρ<sub>s</sub>), and porosity (n). In this study, we evaluate these relationships using three multiple machine-learning algorithms (MLAs): artificial neural network (ANN), fuzzy inference system (FIS), and gene expression programming (GEP), alongside a linear regression method (LRM) and predict both dry S-wave velocity (V<sub>s-dry</sub>) and saturated S-wave velocity (V<sub>s-sat</sub>) of rocks. The research involves the analysis of 90 datasets derived from samples of schist, phyllite, and sandstone rocks collected from Azad and Bakhtiari dam sites in Iran. The diversity of these datasets is a key advantage of this study, providing a solid foundation for models training and testing while enhancing the models’ generalizability. Model optimization techniques are employed in the Python, MATLAB, GenXProTools, and SPSS environments to identify the most effective versions of ANN, FIS, GEP, and LRM models, respectively. The prediction performance analysis reveals that all applied models yield acceptable levels of accuracy for predicting V<sub>s-dry</sub> and V<sub>s-sat</sub>. However, GEP emerges as the best model for predicting both V<sub>s-dry</sub> and V<sub>s-sat</sub>. The ANN and FIS models also achieve high levels of accuracy, while LRM performs comparatively less well. Additionally, sensitivity analysis conducted using the cosine amplitude method (CAM) highlights the influence of different variables on V<sub>s-dry</sub> and V<sub>s-sat</sub>. The ρ<sub>d</sub> is found to be the most influential parameter on V<sub>s-dry</sub>, whereas DI exhibits the least impact. Conversely, the ρ<sub>s</sub> significantly affects V<sub>s-sat</sub>, while W<sub>a</sub> shows the lowest impact. The exceptional performance of these proposed MLAs confirms their applicability in real-world rock engineering and geotechnics projects, offering precise determination of V<sub>s</sub>. The diversity of studied rock types and datasets, along with the use of cost-effective and easy measurable inputs, the determination of V<sub>s</sub> in both dry and saturated status, and the application of robust MLAs for V<sub>s</sub> determination are the main novelties of this study. However, further researches involving additional datasets and more rock types are required to validate these findings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56013,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Geotechnics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142239065","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 paper, a new model using longitudinal relative differential settlement as the index of tunnel structural resilience performance is proposed. The resilience metric (<em>Re</em>) is defined as the ratio of the area integrated by the residual performance during environmental disruptions to the area integrated by the normal performance for the corresponding duration. Then, the proposed resilience analysis model is applied to a well-documented case in Shanghai, where the existing metro tunnel is disrupted by a newly constructed large-diameter shield tunnel undercrossing and subsequently repaired by soil grouting. The variations of tunnel settlement concerning construction parameters and driving distance of the shield machine are analyzed. The performance degradation characteristics of the tunnel during disruption and recovery are effectively captured. The results show that 32.3 % of the performance loss is attributed to the new tunnel undercrossing in the first 38 days. After the completion of the grouting reinforcement, the tunnel performance is improved from 0.677 to 0.868, accounting for approximately 59.1 % of the performance loss during the crossing period. Moreover, the resilience metric (<em>Re</em>) is calculated as 0.764, indicating a high level of resilience for the existing metro tunnel in this case.

Our research focuses on a unique configuration where the pile tip “floats” within a soil–cement mixing (SCM) column near the bottom of the borehole, a condition that significantly influences the system’s performance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We conducted a full-scale axial static load test on a 500 mm diameter and 140 mm thickness straight shaft precast prestressed concrete spun pile. The pile was instrumented with vibrating wire strain gauges (VWSG) and displacement measuring devices (tell-tales), embedded 15 m deep in a 750 mm diameter SCM column (15.75 m long). The pile tip was positioned 75 cm above the bottom of the borehole, creating a floating condition within the SCM material. Both the pile and the surrounding SCM were instrumented to provide comprehensive data on the system’s behavior.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The test involved two loading–unloading cycles.

In the 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; Cycle, we observed upward movement of the SCM material around the shaft after the pile skin friction reached its maximum capacity. Stress at the pile tip exceeded the unconfined compressive strength of the SCM material, indicating potential local shear failure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Contrary to expectations based on HS pile performance in other soil types, the ultimate bearing capacity of our pile was determined to be 2000 kN, comprising 545 kN from skin friction and 1455 kN from end bearing.

Consequently, we classify our pile as a “prebored and precast pile,” like systems used in China and Korea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Our study concludes that the strength of the SCM material and the pile tip location significantly influence the pile’s bearing capacity in clay soils.
