TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated correlations between the occurrence of landslides with geologic and geomorphologic conditions, and seismic parameters, and found that both LAD and LPD have strong positive correlations with slope steepness, distance from the major surface rupture and seismic intensity.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a rock mass conceptual model that identifies the effect of rock mass properties on TBM penetration rate by performing a nonlinear regression analysis, and the parametric studies of the new model showed that the rock uniaxial compressive strength and the volumetric joint count have predominantly effects on the penetration rate.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of two-dimensional numerical modeling with different joint spacing in a rock mass have been performed to explore the effect of joint spacing on rock fragmentation by a TBM cutter.

TL;DR: In this paper, a unique true triaxial rock burst test was carried out to simulate the rock burst process with different in situ stresses, and four experiments were conducted under the same stressed conditions as the in situ field.

TL;DR: The Kranji tunnel is part of the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System in Singapore as discussed by the authors, and two EPB TBMs were deployed at this tunnel with a bored diameter 4.90 m.
