Deformation and mechanical characteristics of tunnel lining in tunnel intersection between subway station tunnel and construction tunnel

Tunnel boring machine positioning automation in tunnel construction

Purpose Tunnel construction using a tunnel boring machine (TBM) entails precise machine positioning and guidance in the underground space. In contrast to traditional laser-based machine guidance solutions, the proposed research aims to develop an automation alternative to facilitate TBMguidance and as-built tunnel alignment survey during tunnelling operations. Method A fully automated system is...

Degradation of Cracked Subway Tunnel Structure by Crack Propagation and Leakage − Influence Analysis on Subway Tunnel Lining Safety Bring by Defects

Coupling Simulation on Subway Tunnel Smoke Propagation

Subway is consisted of tunnels, platforms and ventilation shafts. The air flow between these structures forms a ventilation network. There is a need for fire modeling tools capable of both rapid and precise simulation for fire and smoke propagation in such ventilation network. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is widely used in subway fire performance design. However, the boundary conditions u...

OPTIMAL DESIGN OF TUNNEL SUPPORT LINING USING MCBO ALGORITHM

In this paper, a systematic approach is presented for optimal design of tunnel support lining using two-dimensional finite element analysis models of soil-structure interaction developed in ABAQUS software and the Modified Colliding Bodies Optimization (MCBO) algorithm implemented in MATLAB environment. This approach is then employed to study the influence of variable geometrical and geo-mechan...

Numerical simulation of water entry of tunnel cross section with different deadrise angles and tunnel radiuses

This study deals with the numerical modeling of symmetrical water entry of tunneled sections. In this study, firstly, the water entry problem of a wedge section without tunnel in four different deadrise angles was numerically modeled. The obtained results related to the pressure distribution on these sections and the maximum pressure have been compared with the experiment results. In the next s...
