The advance rate (AR) of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) under hard rock conditions is a key parameter in the successful implementation of tunneling engineering. In this study, we improved the accuracy of prediction models by employing a hybrid model of extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) with Bayesian optimization (BO) to model the TBM AR. To…

Technical challenges have always been part of underground mining activities, however, some of these challenges grow in complexity as mining occurs in deeper and deeper settings. One such challenge is rock mass stability and the risk of rockburst events. To overcome these challenges, and to limit the risks and impacts of events such as rockbursts,…
Estimating surface settlement induced by excavation construction is an indispensable task in tunneling, particularly for earth pressure balance (EPB) shield machines. In this study, predictive models for assessing surface settlement caused by EPB tunneling were established based on extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), artificial neural network, support vector machine, and multivariate adaptive regression spline. Datasets from…
The excavation of a foundation pit considerably affects the adjacent structures and underground pipelines owing to the change in the stress state of the surrounding soil, resulting in deformation. The study of an actual engineering case was conducted to examine the influence of excavation on the deformation of adjacent subway tunnels. The finite element analysis…
The Sichuan–Tibet railway construction has received significant attention from both China and abroad. The new section from Ya’an to Nyingchi is about 1018.6 km long, including 69 tunnels with a total length of 841.7 km. The longest tunnel (Yigong tunnel) is 42.4 km long. The successful construction of the Sichuan–Tibet railway depends largely on tunnel…
