Dynamic response of road tunnel subjected to internal Boiling liquid expansion vapour explosion (BLEVE)

Effect of internal explosion on tunnel secondary and adjacent structures: A review

“…The geological media with enhanced properties can increase the intensity of stress waves transmitted into adjacent structures (Smith and Hetherington, 1994), which is detrimental to the safety of adjacent tunnels. On the other side, the geological medium with enhanced properties (e.g., higher stiffness) can constrain the deformation of adjacent tunnels subjected to the same stress waves (Cheng et al, 2021a), which is beneficial to the safety of adjacent tunnels. Therefore, the interaction between geological media and adjacent structures can lead to opposite effects on the response of adjacent structures under blast-induced stress waves.…”

Modularized and Parametric Modeling Technology for Finite Element Simulations of Underground Engineering under Complicated Geological Conditions

“…The first category is the finite element model, which can be directly used in simulation but cannot perfectly reflect the geological conditions during underground engineering. Cheng et al [1] established a simple three-dimensional model of highway tunnels and analyzed the influence of boiling liquid expansion vapor explosions in tunnels. Hou et al [2] established a three-dimensional model of a tunnel face and analyzed its stability under unsaturated and unsteady seepage conditions.…”
