Tunnel example for road project by Malyar TalashMalyar Talash
A tunnel is an underground passage that can carry pedestrians, vehicles, trains, water or utilities below mountains, cities or waterways. Tunnels are constructed of thick concrete walls in the shape of a cylinder and connect two open points. They can be built using drill-and-blast, tunnel boring machines, cut-and-cover construction or by immersing pre-built tunnel sections. Final construction involves installing supports, utilities and finishes inside the tunnel space.
Subsidence is one of the major environmental issues related to underground mining industry. This presentation gives an insight to causes, nature, effect of subsidence and some mitigation measures.
Highway engineering is an engineering discipline branching out from civil engineering. This subject involves the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of roads, bridges, and tunnels to ensure safe and effective transportation of people and goods. There are certain geological conditions which should be considered while laying the highways. This module give those details in general.
This document provides an overview of tunnel engineering. It defines a tunnel as an underground passage for transport. Tunnels are constructed to reduce transport distances and costs, provide underground transport systems, and offer safety during warfare. Tunnels can be rectangular, elliptical, circular, or horseshoe-shaped depending on purpose and conditions. Soft ground tunnels are excavated manually while hard rock uses explosives. Construction methods include forepoling, linear plates, and needle beams depending on terrain. Proper ventilation, drainage, and lining are required for safety and stability during and after construction.
Alignment: The position or the layout of the central line of the highway on the ground is called the alignment.
Highway Alignment includes both
a) Horizontal alignment includes straight and curved paths, the deviations and horizontal curves.
b) Vertical alignment includes changes in level, gradients and vertical curves.
This report investigates the subsurface conditions and dewatering requirements for installing roughly 1200 meters of sanitary forcemain along the Jock River in Richmond, Ontario. One of the main challenges is the high groundwater table, which requires significant dewatering down to depths of 4.5 meters below ground level. Two dewatering methods are analyzed: sump pumping and a wellpoint system. The report also examines soil excavation support needs due to trench heights and proposes using stacked trench boxes to safely support the soils.
Effect of underground tunnelling by (TBM) on foundations of existing structuresKishor Ade
This document discusses a dissertation on the effect of underground tunnelling by tunnel boring machine (TBM) on existing structures' foundations. It introduces the topic, provides a literature review on previous related studies, and outlines the methodology, which involves finite element modeling and analysis of shallow and raft foundations at different tunnel depths using Midas GTS NX software. The results found that tunnelling was suitable for raft and shallow foundations on hard and soft murrum soils when the tunnel crown depth was 20-25m below foundations, as displacements did not exceed code limits. Tunnelling was not suitable under shadu soil foundations.

Edge Detectionand Depth Estimation from Magnetic DataofWadi Araba,Eastern Des...iosrjce
Edge detection, trend analysis and depth estimation techniques are very important steps in the
interpretation of magnetic anomalies. In this paper, the Fast Fourier Transform was applied to showing the
regional and residual sources. Trend analysis was carried out on the Reduced to Pole, regional and residual
aeromagnetic maps to delineate the main tectonic trends dissected the study area. The edges of these sources
is determined by using the tilt angle derivative and standard 3D-Euler deconvolution. The estimated Euler
solutions was plotted on the tilt angle derivative map. A good correlation was noticed between them
indicating that both of them can be contribute in delineating the general structural framework of the area.
These techniques indicate that Wadi Araba is highly affected by the Gulf of Suez rifting system and the Syrian
Arc folding system. On other hand, the area is affected by the Tethyan trend especially the southwestern
corner of this area and it is maintained in regional components. The depth estimation was applied using
analytic signal and Source Parameter imaging techniques. These depth methods show a comparable results.
The depth to the top of the basement sources ranges from about 200 to 4000 m.

Study of Dynamic Analysis for Immersed Tube Tunnelijceronline
The main aim of the project is to connect the two coats of the Dharamtar creek i.e. Rewas in Alibaug and Karanja in Uran by an immersed tunnel. The construction of proposed immersed tunnel will reduce the travel time from Mumbai to Alibaug from 3 hours to 1 hour. But this reduction in time includes the consideration of the sea-link from Sewri to Nhava Seva (Uran).Which was proposed by government and is already under construction. Thus construction of this immersed tunnel will ease the transportation of the city. In this study, a preliminary analysis of IZMIR immersed tube is carried out for validating purpose. The static analysis of the tunnel was made in finite element program. The vertical displacement of the tube unit under static loads was calculated. Afterwards, the seismic analysis was made to investigate stresses developed due to both racking and axial deformation of the tunnel during an earthquake. It was found that, maximum stress due to axial deformation is longer than compressive strength of the concrete. The high stresses in the tube occur, because of the tube stiffness.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
