Bridges in mining areas deform primarily because of surface subsidence caused by underground mining. Analysis of these deformations should consider the synergistic effects between the foundation soil and the bridge superstructure. The geology of mining areas, which is inherently complex, significantly effects the selection of soil mechanics parameters, potentially leading to errors in model calculations.

Blasting is widely used in mining, subway, demolition and groundwater-sealed tunnel, among them, the last one is widely concerned because of its many adjacent tunnels, high anti-seepage requirements, strict blasting control, etc. The identification of blasting characteristics is of great significance to the blasting construction and the safety evaluation of the groundwater-sealed tunnel. In view of the problem that conventional feature identification methods are less explored in groundwater-sealed tunnel, a complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise and multiscale permutation entropy and Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) method was proposed.
