        In this research, the performance of tunnels with segmental lining in swelling rocks have been studied. In this regard, the way segments are arranged in relation to each other, how the segments are connected along the longitudinal and circumferential lines of the tunnel, and the extent of creating the excavation wall, the effect of the thickness of the segment and the lining system, the effect of the depth of the tunnel and other details are studied. In this regard from the FLAC 3D software was used for numerical modeling. Among the important results obtained in this research, the displacements of the tunnel after applying the boundary conditions and modeling the segments and taking into account all the elements and the phenomenon of creep and surrounding stones with accurate values as the average initial displacement around the tunnel at the specified points are 4.63 mm, this displacement continues the upward trend with a steep slope for a week and increases up to 6.49 mm, and after a week, the increasing rhythm decreases and reaches 6.92 on average in 50 days, and this trend increases again. After 400 days, it reached the value of 9.85 and then the increasing rhythm decreased again, so that after 11 years, the average displacement reaches the value of 11.09, and after this period of time, the displacement of the tunnel becomes very insignificant.

        2 - Modeling of Accumulated Energy Ratio (AER) for Estimating LiqueFaction Potential Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Gene Expression Programming (GEP) (using data from Tabriz)

        Presenting a model specific to the city of Tabriz to estimate the liquefaction potential due to the region's seismicity and the high groundwater level can be effective in dealing with and predicting solutions to deal with this phenomenon. In recent years, the accumulation energy ratio (AER) as a parameter for estimating the liquefaction potential in the energy-based method proposed by Kokusho (2013) has been considered by many researchers. In this research, using perceptron multilayer (MLP) and radial base function (RBF) methods in artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic expression programming (GEP), the accumulation energy ratio using seismic and geotechnical data is modeled for the city of Tabriz. These modeling’s performed by all three methods are well consistent with the outputs. Still, the modeling performed using the Perceptron Multilayer (MLP) method is very compatible with the outputs and can estimate the results with an acceptable percentage. The relationship presented by genetic expression programming (GEP), which is trained with local data, can also yield satisfactory results from estimating the rate of accumulated energy in the study area and provided an independent and accessible relationship trained. With data specific to the study area, there is another advantage. Manuscript profile

        As one of the significant phenomena in earthquake geotechnical engineering, liquefaction can cause severe damages. A number of factors play a role in the occurrence of liquefaction such as magnitude of earthquake, void ratio, relative density, and fines content percentage. The impact of building construction overburdens on liquefaction is of paramount importance. The present study was aimed at evaluating the effects of overburden resulting from building construction on liquefaction potential of saturating soil layers along Tabriz Metro Line 2. Fifty-four boreholes and geotechnical information were collected from the research site. Overburden values were considered to be 100 kPa, 200kPa, 300 KPa, and 400 KPa equivalents to 5-, 10-, 15-, and 30-story building, respectively. The assessment of liquefaction potential of soil layers was carried out using the standard penetration test (SPT) method. Furthermore, liquefaction potential index (LPI) of soil layers was evaluated. The findings demonstrated that overburden can affect liquefaction resistance of soil layers. With increasing overburden, safety factor against liquefaction became less than one in nearly 80% of soil layers. The rate of growth in LPI of boreholes in the research site was found to be roughly 70%. Hence, an increase in overburden elevated liquefaction hazards in the research site. Manuscript profile

        Soil reinforcement can be considered as the combination of two parts. One part is soil for compressive stress capacity and another part is some material such as geosynthetics such as steel belts and fibers for tensile stress capacity. Soil improvement is one of the useful methods to increase the strength parameters of the soil. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of GFRP on the bearing capacity, shear strength, and permeability of clayey soil. For this purpose, the length of GFRP is selected 10 mm and amount of GFRP are 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1% that mixed randomly with clay. Mixture specimens prepared using the optimum water content. Bearing capacity of specimens measured by unconfined compressive test and direct shear test. Also, Permeability parameter assessed based on the falling head permeability test. Results of this study showed that with mixing GFRP up to 0.8% increases the clay bearing capacity and flexibility. Although with continuing to add GFRP the bearing capacity decrease, the clay permeability using GFRP is increased. Manuscript profile
