A Review on Impacts and Mitigation of Liquefaction of Soil Around the Tunnels

Zusammenfassung: | Liquefaction occurs when the ground experiences intense shaking due to seismic activities, causing water-saturated soils or loosely packed sediments near the surface to weaken and behave like a liquid. The present paper has reviewed and investigated the liquefaction around tunnels due to any seismic event that may occur during the tunnel’s lifetime. To effectively prevent soil liquefaction around the tunnel, it is crucial to analyze both the acceleration response of the tunnel and the soil motion that results from liquefaction. This paper examines the geotechnical engineering aspects of such liquefactions and discusses analytic techniques to mitigate their effects. Also, the response of tunnel displacement under different magnitudes of earthquakes has been discussed. Different mitigation methods are explored in response to the damages caused by the liquefaction of soil due to earthquakes. Case studies of this problem that occurred in different nations were analyzed as well, amidst which are tunnel disasters in Turkey, Syria, China, Italy, Japan, India, and the USA. These instances demonstrate the terrible repercussions of liquefaction, such as building collapse, road network destruction, and surface and subsurface structure deterioration. By reviewing these instances, major patterns and trends in liquefaction-induced damages emerge, giving valuable insights for future mitigation and engineering practices. This review serves as a valuable resource for engineers and researchers involved in tunnel design, construction, and maintenance. This review paper addresses the dangers associated with liquefaction in soils and highlights the need for robust design considerations and appropriate construction techniques to mitigate potential damages. |
