The expansion mechanism of expansive surrounding rock in Guiyang City, China.

Expansive surrounding rock, such as mudstone, poses significant risks to supporting structures like tunnel linings due to its tendency to expand. To explore the expansion mechanism of expansive surrounding rock and address underground engineering challenges associated with it, this study, based on the first phase of Guiyang Metro Line S1, samples expansive surrounding rock from the section and conducts basic physical tests, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses on the samples. The influence of water content (0%, 2.

Separation of Macro- and Micro-Texture to Characterize Skid Resistance of Asphalt Pavement.

The skid resistance of asphalt pavement is an important factor affecting road safety. However, few studies have characterized the contribution of the macro- and micro-texture to the skid resistance of asphalt pavement. In this paper, the generalized extreme studentized deviate (GESD) and neighboring-region interpolation algorithm (NRIA) were used to identify and replace outliers, and median filters were used to suppress noise in texture data to reconstruct textures.

Strength prediction model of fractured dolomite and analysis of mechanical properties based on PFC3D.

To investigate the mechanical properties of fractured dolomite, this study analyzed the fracture characteristics (dip angle, length, position, quantity) using the Pearson coefficient and MIC coefficient. Subsequently, the data pertaining to fracture characteristics is preprocessed using a third-degree polynomial, and a three-classification strategy is implemented to improve the logistic regression algorithm to establish the strength prediction model of fractured dolomite. Furthermore, the significance order of the impact of fracture characteristics on rock strength was determined using the numerical simulation software PFC3D, and the dip angle effect was explained from the perspective of internal fracture propagation within the rock.
