Abstract: The construction condition of HongKong-ZhuHai-Macao Immersed Tunnel is very complicated of deep water more than 40 meters, soft soil layers more than 40 meters and 20 meters sedimentation loads. There are almost 5 types of foundation solutions along tunnel axis. How to determine the suitability of foundation solutions? Immersed tube tunnel is a type of underground structure which is sentisitive...
Abstract: Shaking table, which was developed for structural engineering, was also applied to pile foundation in geotechnical engineering ( Meymand, 1998). Yang et.al (2004) applied structural shaking table to test the seismic behaviour of metro tunnel. It was believed that long tunnel would suffer from more
Abstract: Seismic performance of the immersed tunnel as long underground structures is similar to the pipelines. In the action of earthquake, the dynamic response and stability is determined by the surrounding soils, not the structures. But the deflection of structures should be coordinated with the soil. It is very important to know appropriate history of ground failures in past earthquake such as...
Abstract: This article presents a numerical approach to study the damage evolution of secondary tunnel lining under the combined actions of corrosion of the preliminary support and the creep deformation of the surrounding rock. Three new models, including the tensile failure of corroding rock bolt, the yielding of corroding steel arch and the elastoplastic damage of concrete, were put forward and...
