A Novel Experimental Study on the Effects of Soil and Faults’ Properties on Tunnels Induced by Normal and Reverse Faults

Abstract: Due to the world population increasing considerably, there is a need for efficient public transportation, such as the subway. However, it has become a major concern to geotechnical engineers that the development and construction of subways are held underground where faults exist, as it will be a major risk to any structure if the fault is still active. Several seismic events, such as the earthquakes in Taiwan in 1999, China in 2008, and Malaysia (Sabah) in 2015, caused by fault ruptures, signify the importance… Show more

“…Accelerometers were strategically placed on both sides of the pile body, bearing platform, and bridge deck of the bridge structure, as illustrated in Figure 6. In Test 3 ⃝, the rightmost side of the bridge bearing platform was 700 mm away from the soil box plate on the east side, and in Test 4 ⃝, the distance to the east side of the soil box plate was 1100 mm.…”

“…During a strong earthquake, the displacement of bedrock can rupture the overlying soil layer, causing the destruction of buildings and rendering bridge structures nonfunctional. This phenomenon is referred to as the surface rupture effect in strong earthquakes [1][2][3][4]. The surface rupture resulting from the primary fault during a strong earthquake is highly destructive, and current seismic fortification measures struggle to mitigate the direct damage caused to buildings and critical lifeline infrastructure [5].…”

“…An important subject, described in the special issue was the development of manmade infrastructure in relation to the processes of the natural environment taking place in the vicinity of this infrastructure. Ghafari et al [2] shows the problem related to the development of transport. Its expansion is very important due to the constantly growing number of people using it.…”

“…Extensive research has been carried out on fault-crossing tunnels, including analysis models, experiments, and numerical simulation. Key influencing factors of fault zones studied have included the fault zone width, soil properties, and the intersection angle between tunnel axis and fault zone [7,8]. Tunnelling research subjects have encompassed surrounding rock deformation, internal forces, tunnel lining deformation, and the advantages and drawbacks of a range of construction measures [9][10][11][12][13].…”
