“…These transportation modes aspire to overcome the traffic congestion problems using a high-speed railway (HSR) technology of magnetic levitation and vacuum underground tunnels and tubes [1]. For instance, in the United States, more than 68.4 billion USD has been proposed to implement this new mode of transportation under the name of the hyperloop [1]. This new system consists of a low-pressure tunnel with capsules that are transported at both low and high speeds throughout the length of the tunnel.…”

The complexities and the economic computational infeasibility associated in some cases, with three-dimensional finite element models, has imposed a motive for many investigators to accept numerical modeling simplification solutions such as assuming two-dimensional (2D) plane strain conditions in simulation of several supported-deep excavation problems, especially for cases with a relatively high aspect ratio in plan dimensions. In this research, a two-dimensional finite element model was established to simulate the behavior of the supporting system of a large-scale deep excavation utilized in the construction of an underground metro station Rod El Farrag project (Egypt). The essential geotechnical engineering properties of soil layers were calculated using results of in-situ and laboratory tests and empirical correlations with SPT-N values. On the other hand, a three-dimensional finite element model was established with the same parameters adopted in the two-dimensional model. Sufficient sensitivity numerical analyses were performed to make the three-dimensional finite element model economically feasible. Results of the two-dimensional model were compared with those obtained from the field measurements and the three-dimensional numerical model. The comparison results showed that 3D high stiffening at the primary walls’ corners and also at the locations of cross walls has a significant effect on both the lateral wall deformations and the neighboring soil vertical settlement.

“…More importantly, some studies have found it difficult to achieve long-term sustained economic performance growth for construction industries that focus on only economic performance, so sustainable construction practices emphasizing the coordinated development of economic, environmental and social performance should be applied to OCPs (Tan et al, 2011). Meanwhile, most of the research on the improvement of competitiveness is based on Porter's diamond model or SWOT analysis to identify various dimensions influencing the international competitiveness of construction industries (Lu et al, 2013;Niu et al, 2020), to obtain detailed development strategies through questionnaires or expert interviews, and finally, to verify the rationality of proposed strategies through structural equation models, regression analysis and other methods (Deng et al, 2013).…”

“…HSR projects have attracted great attention from researchers. To date, much of the literature on HSR competition has involved the industry level (Niu et al, 2020), the firm level (Zhang et al, 2019(Zhang et al, , 2020b, and the project level (Zhou et al, 2019;Niu et al, 2019). In addition, Niu et al (2021) explored the interactive paths covering three levels (project, firm, and industry levels) of the international competitive advantages for HSR contractors.…”

International joint ventures (IJVs) have become a significant mode of exploiting high-speed railway (HSR) overseas market for contractors. This study is devoted to identify the determinants for the coopetition strategies of IJVs in the HSR projects, as well as the interactive paths. On the base of a thorough literature review and the pilot study with five industry experts, 22 determinants were identified and packaged into six groups covering the three levels (including macro, firm, and project levels). Meanwhile, the interactive paths amongst the six groups were proposed. A questionnaire survey was performed with 210 practitioners experienced in IJVs in HSR projects to assess the significance of the factors, and 113 valid questionnaires were received. Based on the collected data, six groups of 22 determinants and nine interactive paths were verified by applying partial least-squares structural equation modeling technology. Specifically, these significant paths could be classified into two categories, namely the coopetition-capability oriented paths, and the coopetition-relationship oriented paths. The findings of this paper are conductive to expand the knowledge on coopetition and provide a useful reference for the members of IJVs in HSR projects to accomplish coopetition strategies from pre-project phase, the implementation phase, to post-project phase.
