Abstract: TBM cutter life and wear evaluation in soft ground are important issues, especially in pressurized face tunneling with soft ground TBMs for which the planning of costly interventions becomes crucial. This paper presents the evolution and latest developments of different methodologies and tests in cutter life evaluation in soil with a major focus on identification of the main influential...
Abstract: Hydrodynamic containment principle in oil storage cavern is essential concept forsuccessful storage of oil products in underground cavern while avoiding leakage of products. Thus, hydrodynamic containment should be ensured throughout the stages of design, construction and operation. From the literature review, it is found that heterogeneity in continuum based modeling requires additional safety...
