Deformation and failure characteristics of soft rock tunnel surrounding rock under mining and water immersion conditions by XIE Panshi, FANG Jiarui, HU Bosheng, ZHANG Bo, ZHANG Xi, DUAN Siyu

“…The deformation and failure of surrounding rock in soft rock tunnels are significantly exacerbated by the combined effects of mining activities and water immersion erosion. Water immersion leads to the failure of anchoring agents, which reduces the anchorage strength of bolts and cables, thereby diminishing their load-bearing capacity and severely compromising the safety of the tunnel face. …”

Research on Corrosion Damage and Bearing Characteristics of Bridge Pile Foundation Concrete under a Dry-Wet-Freeze-Thaw Cycle by Zhongju Feng, Jianwei Huo, Haibo Hu, Ruixin Zhao, Fuchun Wang, Guan Jiang, Xianhua Yao, Tie Li, Zhenyu Song

“…The application of epoxy resin on the surface improved erosion resistance. After one year of outdoor dry-wet-freeze-thaw cycle test, due to the interaction of compound salts, the quality of specimens is reduced under the denudation of chloride ions, while the mass of specimens is increased by the corrosion products formed under the joint action of carbonate and sulfate, resulting in less obvious change of specimen quality, the antierosion coefficient of the specimens decreased, the maximum loss rate of compressive strength was 38.2%, and the pile foundation began to deteriorate. …”
