Impact analysis of tunnel crossing pile foundation at different angles by Zhongxi Tian, Zhiyu Zhang, Guangzhan Zhang, Xiangjun Shan, Wanrong Liu

“…The results show that: the smaller the angle is, the larger the surface settlement is, the maximum value is 2.5 mm, and when the angle is 90 degrees (vertical crossing), the settlement is the smallest, the minimum value is 2.0 mm; the effect of tunnel crossing on the vertical bending of the underpinned piles is relatively little, the effect on the horizontal displacement increases greatly with the decrease of the angle; the axial force and bending moment of the underpinned piles appear to be the maximum values at the location where the shield tunnel crosses. …”

Investigation of Anisotropic Behavior and Statistical Evolution of Acoustic Emission Energy during the Deformation of Layered Sandstone by Shujian Li, Shaobin Dong, Binting Cai, Menglai Wang, Yanhong Xie, Jingguo Luo

“…The influence of bedding on the mechanical parameters and failure modes and the statistical evolution of the acoustic emission energy were successively discussed. The results of axial stress-strain curves and crack propagation modes showed that the existence of a bedding plane increased the anisotropy of the rocks, and the magnitude of the bedding inclination also exerted certain influence on this anisotropy. …”
