Ground settlement prediction during mechanized tunneling is of paramount importance and remains a challenging research topic. Typically, two paradigms are existing: physics-driven approach utilizing numerical simulation models for prediction, data-driven employing machine learning techniques to learn mappings between influencing factors the settlement. To integrate advantages both approaches assimilate data from different sources, we propose multi-fidelity deep operator network (DeepONet)...

Due to the high chloride ion concentration in marine environments, ions can penetrate into concrete, along with transportation of water molecules, and thus, cause rebar corrosion. This is an important reason for decrease concrete durability. In this paper, by means sol–gel synthesis method, a silane emulsion, compound gel were prepared using isobutyl triethoxysilane ethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as main raw materials. These materials coated on surface then placed exposure sites Wheat Island,...

Here, a new concrete hydrophobic treatment method is developed using SiO2 sol and silane emulsion. The effectiveness of the modification for protection evaluated through testing water absorption chloride diffusion. Two types with different strength grades (C40, C50) are used as research object. results show that capillary coefficient ion diffusion decrease greatly under Additionally, effect better increase consumption. Contact angle test reveal when coating amount emulsion 300 g/m2,...

Abstract For connecting precast concrete members in prefabricated structures, steel fiber reinforced high‐strength (HSFRC) shows greater bearing capacity and better durability than normal concrete. When these structures are continuously loaded, multiply micro macro cracks will appear. The modeling of this process is challenging because the conventional finite element commonly encounters numerical problems such as stress locking overestimations damaging zones. On other hand, novel...
