The performance of three adjacent 48 m depth concrete diaphragm wall panels in silty soils is measured throughout the complete process of the wall installation including trench excavation, trench concreting, and concrete hardening. The analysis of the field measurement data shows that the ground movement induced by the wall installation is a function of construction activities. The maximum lateral movement occurs during the trench excavation. The trench concreting reduces the lateral movement. Field measurement at the end of wall installation may not catch the value of the maximum lateral movement. The ground settlement continues to increase during the complete process of panel installation, but with a decreasing rate. Roughly 90% of the settlement occurs during the trench excavation. The ground movement is also closely related to the properties of subsurface strata. The weak superficial fill materials sustain high disturbance, which consequently results in relatively large ground movement. With current engineering means and methods and good construction workmanship, the ground movement can be well controlled. In the current project, the maximum lateral ground movement was controlled within 2.0 cm and the maximum settlement was controlled within 0.05% of trench depth.

Jixi mine area is one of the early mined areas in China and it's a typical deep mine. Because of large deformation of underground roadway and dynamic disasters occurred frequently in this mine, five measurement points of in-situ stress in this mine was measured and then analyzed with inversion. Based on these in-situ stress measurement data, numerical model of 3D in-situ stress back analysis was established. According to different stress fields, related analytical samples of neural network were given with FLAC program. Through the determination of hidden layers, hidden nodes and the setting of parameters, the network was optimized and trained. Then according to field measurement of in-situ stress, back analysis of initial stress field was conducted. Compared with field measurement, with accuracy requirement satisfied, it shows that the in-situ stress of rock mass obtained is basically reasonable. Meanwhile, it proves that the measurement of in-situ stress can provide deep mines with effective and rapid means, and also provide reliable data to optimization of deep roadway layout and supporting design.

Various empirical equations have been proposed to predict the ground settlement profile caused by the excavation of conventional circular tunnels. However, ground movement for the underground box structure has not been fully studied. In this study, ground settlement induced by underground box installations is investigated using two-dimensional finite element analyses. A new formulation to assess the settlement profile applicable to underground box structure is proposed based on parametric analyses of the changes in ground condition, geometric condition of structure, and construction conditions. This paper also presents a method to predict the maximum surface settlement around an underground box structure with artificial neural networks (ANNs), taking into account nine input variables that have direct physical significance. A MATLAB-based multi-layer back propagation neural network model is developed, trained, and tested with parameters obtained from numerical analyses. The maximum settlement from the ANN model, in conjunction with a new formulation to construct the settlement profile, turns out to be promising, by predicting a settlement profile compatible with field measurement data.

Problems often exist in construction of transportation tunnels, such as the effect of new tunnels constructed close to existing structures. Solving this magnificent problem by carefully choosing tunnel construction methods will be beneficial to minimize effects on existing structures while ensuring the newly constructed tunnel is both time-consuming and economical. Three representative engineering methods-the benching tunneling method, the Center Diaphragm method and the Cross Diaphragm method-are compared in controlling the settlement of new tunnel vault and the deformation of the existing tunnel. Finally checking the simulation results by comparing with field measurement data.

Magnetic Flux Leakage inspection tools are generally calibrated on a series of manufactured defects. This has been shown to give good results on a wide range of defects in varying wall thicknesses, velocities and pipeline conditions. Significant improvements in sizing performance can be achieved if sizing algorithms can be optimized on high resolution field data with low uncertainty that more closely reflects the actual line specific corrosion dimensions and profiles. The effects of defect profile can be significant to the MFL signal response. In order to achieve this goal, very high resolution and accurate field measurement techniques are needed to map the combined profile of a significant number of corrosion defects. This paper discusses a process for developing high performance sizing algorithms that consistently better industry standards for MFL sizing performance in areas of high density or complex corrosion in both oil and gas pipelines through the incorporation of high resolution laser scan technology. Complex corrosion may be considered as an area wherein individual corrosions interact together such that they no longer behave as a single corrosion and the MFL response experiences a superposition of leakage signals. A review of the methodology will be discussed and the results demonstrated through case studies from both Enbridge Pipelines Inc. and TransCanada Pipelines Ltd. where high-resolution field data was used as the basis for sizing model optimization.
