Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This study delves into the intricate mechanisms of water-rock interaction and its profound impact on the swelling and crack behavior of argillaceous dolomite in tunnel uplift zones. Through a combination of laboratory and in-situ experiments, the research provides a comprehensive analysis of the microscopic and macroscopic effects of these interactions. The study reveals that argillaceous dolomite, a special type of carbonate rock, exhibits significant strength softening and volume expansion when exposed to water-bearing environments. The presence of expansive clay minerals such as illite and montmorillonite plays a crucial role in this behavior. The research highlights the critical mechanism by which water-rock interaction induces volume change in argillaceous minerals, particularly under long-term groundwater disturbance in actual tunnel environments. The study also explores the distribution and characteristics of cracks in the rock mass, which serve as conduits for water transport and further fracture propagation. The findings provide crucial scientific evidence for understanding groundwater-rock interaction mechanisms and offer valuable insights for the safety and long-term stability of tunnel engineering.
