Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of the Tunnel Face Stability through a Ground Stress Analysis with a Hemispherical Geometry ApproximationPierpaolo OresteThe evaluation of the stability of the excavation face is an important aspect in the design of a tunnel. When it is not possible to ensure excavation face stability in natural conditions, it is in fact necessary to intervene with remarkably costly reinforcement operations. The analysis of the stability conditions of an excavation face can be conducted, with a certain … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 8 Jan 2015 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe 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 keywordsAnalysis 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 abstractA Numerical Approach for Evaluating the Convergence-Confinement Curve of a Rock Tunnel Considering Hoek-Brown Strength CriterionPierpaolo OresteThe convergence-confinement method is frequently used for the analysis of the behavior of a tunnel and to define the support structures necessary to guarantee its stability. The reasons why it is used extensively, at least in the preliminary study phases of a tunnel are: The fundamental parameters of the problem (the diameter and depth of the tunnel, as well as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKey Factors in the Face Stability Analysis of Shallow TunnelsDaniel Dias, Pierpaolo OresteStability of the excavation face in shallow tunnels and in poor ground is at present a relevant problem in tunnelling. A new calculation procedure is illustrated in this study for the analysis of the effect on the face stability in shallow tunnels of the following key factors: pre-support structures, presence of groundwater, free length of the tunnel (length of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,017 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFull Model Wind Tunnel Study on the Xia-Zhang Bridge Under Operation StageAyad Thabit Saeed, Zhang Liang Liang, Yang Zhuan Yun et al.Problem statement: Long-span cable-stayed bridges under service and particular construction conditions are very susceptible to wind action due to their great flexibility, so the aerodynamic stability is becoming a major concern in the design and construction phrases. Cable-stayed bridges may exhibit wind-induced vibration phenomena such as flutter, buffeting and vortex oscillation under wind excitation. The study concentrated on the issues … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Flight Control Design for a Turn Coordination System with Parameter UncertaintiesAri Legowo, Hiroshi OkuboThis paper presents a method of robust control system design for aircraft flight control systems with the existence of uncertainty parameters such as stability and control derivatives resulted by parameter identification process using real flight test data. A nonlinear model of aircraft turn coordination system is considered where the problem is to find the optimal controller by using the H∞ … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
