<p>With the development of urban transportation, city buses are unable to accommodate daily ground transportation for the public in life, work and study; therefore, urban metro gains rapid development. However, metro tunnel construction would initiate land subsidence issues which bring significant potential safety hazards and economic losses. In order to reduce irrelevant economic losses, this paper discusses the land subsidence issues from three perspectives: analysis of land subsidence, land subsidence safety judgment and control and shallow tunnel excavation method in tunnel construction used to control land subsidence. The paper indicates that there are major geotechnical engineering issues encountered during urban metro tunnel excavation process. The individuals in charge of implementation should optimize tunnel construction regulations and ensure all works are implemented scientifically, regularly and orderly in order to reduce the impacts on land subsidence caused by tunnel construction.</p>

Abstract. The Yangtze River Delta and North China Plain are experiencing serious land subsidence development and are also the areas that have undergone the fastest urbanization. Rapid urban development inevitably requires more water resources. However, China is a country with small per capita water resources, nonuniform distribution of water resources, and over-exploitation of groundwater – all of which are critical factors contributing to the potential for a land subsidence disaster. In addition, land subsidence has brought about elevation loss, damaged buildings, decreased safety of rail transit projects, lowered land value, and other huge economic losses and potential safety hazards in China. In this paper, Beijing, a typical northern Chinese city deficient in water, is taken as an example to explore (a) the problems of urban development, utilization of water resources, and land subsidence development; (b) the harm and influence of land subsidence hazards on urban construction; and (c) the relationship between urban development and land subsidence. Based on the results, the author has predicted the trend of urban development and land subsidence in Beijing and puts forward her viewpoints and suggestions.

<p>With the rapid development of smart phones and communication technology, the frequency of communication between the public and society through telecommunication equipment is increasing. At the same time, some lawless elements often cheat the public through telecommunication equipment, which brings irreparable economic losses to the society and the masses to a certain extent. In view of the above problems, this article takes the source of telecommunication fraud as the breakthrough point, analyzes the existing telecommunication fraud processing technology and points out its shortcomings, and then proposes a method of telephone fraud analysis based on big data technology. This technology fills the defects of the existing telecommunication interception technology and provides a new idea for effectively avoiding telecommunication fraud in the future.</p>

Backed up by Dayoushan loess tunnel of Xining in Qinghai province, the displacements of vault settlement, peripheral convergence, surface deformation and post-construction settlement caused by tunnel construction are numerically simulated and analyzed. First, 2-D elastic-plastic model is founded to simulate the tunnel excavation process with up and down steps method. Second, considering the rheological characteristics of loess, 2-D visco-elastic-plastic constitutive model is founded to simulate the creep deformation of rock displacement characteristics. Finally, combined with the serious collapsible feature of loess foundation in supported project, the post-construction settlements under different conditions are simulated to obtain the settlement values of tunnel vault and bottom. The results can explain the deformation laws of tunnel displacement characteristics reasonably and show the importance of foundation reinforcement measures for loess tunnel.

Abstract. Subsidence induced by human activity and urbanization is distributed in an area or along a line. In Shanghai, China, land subsidence is distributed along the belt near a subway line. The subsidence is caused by train vibration as well as regional land subsidence and other engineering activity. In order to figure out the mechanical response of the tunnel surroundings, the PFC2D software based on a discrete element method is introduced to simulate a section of the metro tunnel. The linear contact bond model was employed to reflect the characteristics of clay. Based on the analysis of stress and settlement caused by dynamic cyclic loading, the mechanical response law and subsidence mechanism were investigated. In addition, the influence of frequency on settlement was also analyzed: the greater the frequency, the more particles were rearranged and the larger the settlement. The fraction of sliding contacts was introduced to explain this phenomenon. The results can be used to understand, predict and control land subsidence to protect the geological environment.

Land subsidence was once a major geo-hazard in the city of Shanghai, China. From 1921 to 1965, the maximum cumulative land subsidence in the urban areas of China reached 2.6 m. This large subsidence has resulted in high economic losses for Shanghai. The Regulation of Prevention and Control of Land Subsidence of Shanghai Municipality was published in 2013 (simply cited as the 2013-regulation in the following context). The characteristics of the 2013-regulation included the combination of the subsidence monitoring network and the groundwater detection network due to both the effects of groundwater withdrawal and construction. In addition, the setting up of a supervision system was also incorporated in the 2013-regulation. To control the land subsidence, Shanghai demarcated three land subsidence control zones, where special measures have been implemented. From a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) point of view, the 2013-regulation attains a high total score, indicating that the control of groundwater withdrawal and recharge is effective. The observed land subsidence over the past six years also confirms the effectiveness of the 2013-regulation with the most consideration of SEA for sustainable environment protection in Shanghai. However, more effort should be made in the implementation of SEA in land subsidence control in the future.

With the intensive development of cities, the utilization of underground space has attracted more and more attention from industry and academia. Underground rail (metro) in cities has become an imperative mode for people in their daily lives. Meanwhile, the safety of rail tunnel construction has constantly been a challenging issue because of the presence of complex strata containing shallow biogas. Accidents in tunnel construction because of shallow biogas which resulted in massive casualties and property loss have been reported in some recent literature. The excavation of formations containing shallow biogas not only poses a threat to the safety of the earlier stage of tunnel construction but also affects the later operation of metro lines. Therefore, the safety problem caused by shallow biogas should be taken into consideration seriously and avoided in the pre-construction stage. A typical underwater metro tunnel, Hangzhou Metro Line 6, is introduced in this study to suggest the proper approach to deal with the biogas problem during the construction process. The generation mechanism of shallow biogas is clarified and the process of identifying biogas risk during strata exploration is also discussed. A risk identification and control system for shield tunneling through biogas strata is proposed to mitigate the potential dangers of shallow biogas during the construction process. This study provides actual construction experience and countermeasures for other similar metro tunnel projects that encounter biogas strata to diminish the potential risks and avoid severe accidents.

Abstract With the rapid development of urban construction, smart city has become an important trend in the future, which is inseparable from the intellectualization of drainage pipe network. At the same time, with the increasing frequency of urban flood disasters, the old drainage pipe network system will cause significant economic losses, which requires modern cities to establish intelligent management and control of drainage pipe network. However, the situation of drainage facilities in most cities in China is complex, which requires strengthening modern means such as monitoring, operation management and planning services. Therefore, the research on intelligent management and control system of drainage pipe network based on big data technology is of great significance. Firstly, this paper analyzes the importance of intelligent management and control system. Then, this paper puts forward the main algorithms for big data processing. Finally, this paper constructs the intelligent management and control system of drainage pipe network.

The biggest environmental problem caused by the construction of tunnels adjacent to high-rise buildings is the settlement of buildings. The paper analyzes the influence of tunnel excavation on the deformation of the superstructure and the deformation mode of the superstructure. It introduces the indicators and standards for the construction control of tunnel adjacent to the building at home and abroad. Combined with the Yuzhong tunnel project under construction in Chongqing, the main monitoring indicators and control standards of the Yuzhong Tunnel passing through the main buildings are given after comprehensive analysis and considerations, which provide a reference for the deformation control indicators of similar urban traffic tunnels adjacent to high-rise buildings.
