Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDEVELOPMENT OF INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR CORROSION CRACK IN R.C. FOR SECOND TUNNEL LINING BY USING KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMYousif Abdulwahid Mansoor, ZhiQiang ZhangDuring the last two or three decades, incidence of failure of reinforced concrete structures has been seen widely for many reasons, such as increasing service loads and/or durability problems and the economic losses due to such failures are costly. Nowadays, the size and the form of repair and rehabilitation market are too large since there has been an increased emphasis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2012 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of the Interaction between the Lining of a TBM Tunnel and the Ground Using the Convergence-Confinement MethodPierpaolo OresteThe support used when a tunnel is excavated by a shielded TBM is complex because it consists of two different materials: A concrete segmental lining and a filler annulus between the lining and the tunnel wall. A detailed analysis of the behavior of such a support system requires a three-dimensional numerical modeling and should also consider the presence of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 17 Jun 2015 · 7,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSimplified Analysis of the Lining Behavior During Earthquakes in Deep Rock TunnelsPierpaolo OresteThe sizing of the lining of a tunnel requires to consider not only the static loads transmitted from the surrounding rock, but also the effects of earthquakes on the stresses and strains of the lining. The detailed evaluation of the interaction earthquake-lining using numerical methods typically requires very long calculation time and can be limited to the verification of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 4 May 2015 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywords3D Modelling for Mechanized Tunnelling in Soft Ground-Influence of the Constitutive ModelNgoc-Anh Do, Daniel Dias, Pierpaolo Oreste, Irini Djeran-MaigreThe main purpose of this study was to provide a three-dimensional numerical model which would allow to show the influence of the constitutive model of the ground on the tunnel lining behaviour and displacement field surrounding the tunnel. Most of the processes that occur during mechanized excavation have been simulated in this model. Besides the well-known elastic linear perfectly plastic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 8,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Determination of the Tunnel Structure Loads Through the Analysis of the Interaction between the Void and the Support Using the Convergence-Confinement MethodPierpaolo OresteThe evaluation of the load acting on a tunnel support is of fundamental importance for the correct dimensioning of the structure when analytical calculation methods are used. The load acting on the support depends on various factors and for this reason its evaluation can appear somewhat complex. One way of evaluating the load acting on a support is to use … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 7 Jan 2015 · 6,808 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Evaluation of the Groundwater Influence on the Stress and Strain Behavior around a Tunnel by Analytical MethodsPierpaolo OresteThe presence of an aquifer in the soil causes a change in a relevant way of the stability conditions of a tunnel. The flow of water in the pores, in fact, modifies the stress and strain state of the soil and causes an increase in the thickness of the plastic zone. As a result the loads transmitted on the lining … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 10 · 30 Oct 2015 · 6,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrogeological Prognosis with Regard to Realisation of the New Colle Di Tenda Road TunnelCinzia Banzato, Massimo Vincenzo Civita, Adriano Fiorucci et al.Problem statement: The doubling of Tenda pass road tunnel jointing SW France to Piedmont (Italy) was planned to penetrate a complicate rock structure in which several complex play an hydrogeologic role including carbonate-Karst aquifer between flysch impervious complexes. The main problem of the project is the presence of an hydraulic circulation feeding a spring of social and economic great importance … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,363 accessesView PDFCite
