Metro Jet System (MJS) joint microdisturbance reinforcement is often adopted to strengthen and remediate existing tunnels that are severely deformed by under-construction peripheral works, but analysis related to the reinforcement system of tunnel under consideration of seismic effects is insufficient at present. In this work, a field test of MJS joint microdisturbance reinforcement system of existing tunnels was conducted on the basis of a subway tunnel deformation reinforcement project. Then, a numerical simulation study of the seismic dynamic response of reinforcement system was performed in combination with seismic wave direction and intensity. Results show that the MJS joint microdisturbance reinforcement measures can effectively reduce the settlement and horizontal radial convergence deformation of the tunnel. The seismic longitudinal wave significantly affects the vertical displacement of the tunnel, and the seismic-induced vertical displacement of the tunnel increases with the rise in seismic intensity. The seismic transverse wave significantly affects the horizontal radial convergence deformation of the tunnel, and the seismic-induced horizontal radial convergence deformation of the tunnel increases with the rise in seismic intensity. The antiseismic property of MJS joint microdisturbance reinforcement measures on the existing tunnel is not obvious.

In order to study the vibration influence of tunnel drilling and blasting method on the built tunnel with small clear distance, taking the intersection of Zhuhai Dahengqinshan No. 1 tunnel and Zhuji urban rail tunnel as the engineering background, we used ABAQUS finite element software to conduct numerical simulation analysis on the influence of different blasting loads on existing tunnels with small clear distance in Zhuji tunnel construction. The following conclusions were drawn: the blasting construction of the tunnel under construction had the greatest impact on the vault of the existing tunnel; when the peak load was reduced by half, the stress value, vertical displacement, and resultant velocity of Mises were also reduced by half, which indicates that reducing the peak value of blasting load appropriately can ensure the safety of tunnel construction. When the peak load is 2.7 MPa, the measured and simulated values were less than the resultant velocity limit required by the specification. In addition, the relative error between the measured value and the simulated value was less than 5%, indicating the accuracy of the numerical simulation.

The sharp 90°corner of bow found on American Tarawa class general amphibious assault ship LHA-1 will produce large separated region in the airwake over the ship, and the turbulence in the separation region seriously affects the operation safety of the helicopter. In order to reduce the separation in bow region of the LHA-1, and optimize the helicopter operating environment, the numerical simulation method is used to study the influence of the bow flap on the airwake of LHA-1. The study results show that: the ANSYS k-ε two equation model based on the hybrid grid can be used to predict the steady-state characteristics of the ship airwake; the bow flap can improve the flow field downwind of the flap installation position, and the impact range can cover two spots; in headwind, the optimal installation angle of the bow flap is 15°~25°. The research results of this paper can provide modification and improvement reference for the amphibious assault ship in-service and under construction, so as to achieve the purpose of optimizing the ship airwake, thereby improving the safety of helicopter landing process and extending the service life.

The present work aims to assess whether a standard numerical simulation (RANS-VOF model with k − ϵ closure) can adequately model experimental measurements obtained in a dam physical model. The investigation is carried out on the Sa Stria Dam, a roller compacted concrete gravity dam currently under construction in Southern Sardinia (Italy). The original project, for which a physical model was simulated, included a downstream secondary dam. However, due to both economic and technical reasons, the secondary dam may not be built. Hence, it is important to assess the flood discharge routing and energy dissipation in the modified plan. Numerical validation is performed adopting the same laboratory configuration, in presence of the downstream dam, and results show a good agreement with mean experimental variables (i.e., pressure, water level). An alternative configuration without the downstream dam is here numerically tested to understand the conditions of flood discharge and assess whether its results can give relevant information for the design of mitigation measures. The topic is of interest also from a more general perspective. Indeed, the feasibility to integrate numerical models with existing laboratory measurements can be very useful not only for new constructions but also for existing dams, which may need either maintenance or upgrading works, such as in case of flood discharge increment.

In this paper, a new method for the numerical simulation of structural model is proposed,which is employed to analyze the pounding response of caissons subjected to storm surge loads.According to the new method,the simulation process is divided into two steps. Firstly, the wave propagation caused by storm surge is simulated by the wave-generating tool of Flow-3D, and recording the wave force time history on the caisson. Secondly,a refined 3D finite element model of caisson is established,and the wave force load is applied on the caisson according to the measured data in the first step for further analysis of structural pounding response using the explicit solver of LSDYNA. The whole simulation of pounding response of a caisson caused by “Sha Lijia” typhoon is carried out. The results show that the different wave direction results in the different angle caisson collisions, which will lead to different failure mode of caisson, and when the angle of 60 between wave direction and front/back wall is simulated, the numerical pounding failure mode is consistent with the situation.

In view of the frequent occurrence of roof collapse and chipping accidents in the broken surrounding rock roadway in the goaf, grouting reinforcement is applied to the surrounding rock of the ro ent ratio. The field test proves that the selected grouting parameters are reasonable and achieve the purpose of controlling the deformation of the surrounding rock of the roadway.

Dalian speed railway tunnel is located in complex soft rock and soil, the road foundation deform and surrounding rock stability control is a concern problem. Along with the unloading process of excavation, surrounding rock moving to inner hole, while exceeding the elastic limitation, the plastic deform and the surrounding rock destroy then occurred. The paper adopted three dimensional elastic-plastic method based on Mohr-Coulomb yielding criterion and carried out numerical simulation of excavation process, in order to analyze and compare the surrounding rock vertical displacement contour, ground surface settlement and damage zone corresponding to different construction sequence. The elastic-plastic numerical method can reflect the damage and destroy character of nonlinear soil material of surrounding rock corresponding to different construction scheme, the simulation result has active guiding meaning for the Dalian speed railway tunnel construction design and dynamic analysis.
