    To investigate the spontaneous imbibition mechanism of shale reservoirs to fracturing fluid, the marine shale of Longmaxi Formation in Sichuan Basin and the continental shale of Yanchang Formation in Ordos Basin were taken as the research object, and the actual fracturing fluid was taken as the imbibition fluid. The spontaneous imbibition characteristics and control mechanism of marine and continental shales on fracturing fluid were studied by the spontaneous imbibition test system and the characterization methods of mineral composition and microscopic pore. The results show that the spontaneous imbibition curves of the two groups of shale increase rapidly and then decrease slowly with the increase of imbibition time, and the decrease of imbibition is mainly due to the decrease of shale weight caused by the dissolution of soluble minerals. TOC (total organic carbon) and quartz content of the two groups of shale exhibit a negative correlation with the maximum imbibition, while clay minerals, carbonate and pore volume exhibit a positive correlation with the maximum imbibition. Although the clay mineral content of Yanchang Formation shale is higher than that of Longmaxi Formation shale, its maximum imbibition is relatively low, which may be due to the more developed pore structure of Longmaxi Formation shale. The adsorption of hydrophilic minerals in shale and the capillary action of microscopic pores are the main driving forces for the spontaneous imbibition of fracturing fluid, and the influence of microscopic pores is stronger than that of hydrophilic minerals. For the flowback problem of fracturing fluid in shale gas wells, a better fracturing fluid ratio scheme can be proposed by adjusting the chemical composition of fracturing fluid and combining the spontaneous imbibition test results of fracturing fluid to meet the actual engineering needs. The research results can provide theoretical references for efficient development of shale gas.

    Relying on a deep foundation pit project of a metro station in a dual soil-rock stratum, the deformation patterns of the supporting structure and key sections of the foundation pit during different construction stages were obtained through on-site measured data. Based on the presence of adjacent buildings, a 3D numerical model for dual soil-rock deep foundation pits was established. After the excavation and dewatering construction of the deep foundation pit, the deformation and stress of the retaining structure on both the side adjacent to and away from the buildings, surface subsidence, and changes in the axial force of the supports were analyzed. On this basis, a sensitivity analysis was conducted on the influencing parameters of foundation pit deformation and stress, and the variation patterns were summarized and fitted. The study results indicate that the excavation of dual-element deep foundation pits in soil and rock exhibits significant spatial and temporal effects. In the time dimension, this is manifested as rapid development in the lateral displacement of pile bodies and surface settlement in soil layers, while the development rate slows in rock layers. In the spatial dimension, this is manifested as the corner effect of the pit. Changes in spacing and pile diameter essentially alter the overall stiffness of the retaining structure and the magnitude of external soil and water pressure borne by an individual pile. When the pile diameter is less than 1.0 m, the force sensitivity of deformation in the adjacent building side of the foundation pit significantly increases. The properties of rock and soil masses vary greatly at the soil-rock interface in a dual soil-rock formation, where over-excavation, support spacing, and changes in prestress are more pronounced. The research findings can provide valuable insights for similar soil-rock dual-element deep foundation pit engineering projects.

    In order to explore the influence of environmental lighting on visual fatigue during safety sign identification, 12 mixed lighting environments were designed with illuminance and color temperature as environmental variables. Eye movement data were tested under different conditions by eye-tracking technology and a two-factor ANOVA was conducted.Combined with the test results of reaction speed and comfort, the changes of visual fatigue under different lighting conditions were analyzed.The experimental results show that the change of illumination has a significant effect on visual fatigue, subjects are more prone to visual fatigue in low illumination environment; The change of color temperature has little effect on visual fatigue, but in different mixed lighting environments, the change of color temperature will affect the visual comfort of the subjects, and the fatigue state will change accordingly.The suitable color temperature range for the lighting conditions in the working environment is 2 100~3 500 K, and the illuminance range is 550~900 lx. It is concluded that companies should pay attention to improving the lighting conditions during production, avoid reducing the recognition efficiency of safety signs by workers due to visual fatigue, and ensure the safety and health of workers.

    To quantitatively evaluate the protective effect of the mangrove wave dissipating zone on the near coastline, based on the demonstration area of the Taishan Town Bay Mangrove Project in Guangdong Province, a combination method of on-site observation, theoretical analysis, model experiments, and numerical analysis was used to study the interaction process between the mangrove forests and waves. The verification and analysis of the wave dissipating characteristics of the mangrove forests were carried out from the perspectives of directional statistical characteristics and annual extreme value statistical characteristics, thus achieving a summary of the wave dissipating mechanism and statistical characteristics of the wave dissipating effect of the mangrove forests. The research results indicate that the basic theoretical system of vegetation wave dissipation based on the rigid column group flow theory has strong applicability to mangrove vegetation types, and the relevant wave dissipation theories can be adapted and integrated with numerical calculation models based on wave energy spectra. The simulation of vegetation wave dissipation process was carried out using physical model experiments, and the results were compared with the numerical simulation results using vegetation wave dissipation empirical formula, fully demonstrating the reliability of the vegetation wave dissipation empirical formula adopted in this study. The numerical simulation results show that mangrove forests can significantly reduce the frequency of large waves in various directions from a statistical perspective. The wave dissipation effect of mangrove forests increases significantly with the increase of wave height in different recurrence periods in the direction of strong waves. In the case of inconsistent normal wave direction and strong wave direction, the wave dissipation rate does not show a significant increase trend with the increase of wave height in different recurrence periods.

    The soil covering of urban pipe jacking is shallow, and the surrounding pipelines are densely distributed and close to pipe jacking. In the process of pipe jacking construction, various factors may lead to gas pipeline fracture and gas leakage, resulting in gas, mainly gas, spreading in the soil and entering the pipe jacking, which brings potential great harm to the safety of pipe jacking construction. Based on the main-pipeline project of Maojiawan sewage treatment plant, the diffusion mechanism of gas in soil and pipe jacking and the construction ventilation technology were studied by theoretical analysis and numerical calculation. The results show as follows. With the increase of time, the diffusion flux of gas in soil first increases and then becomes stable. The farther away the pipe jacking is from the leakage hole, the lower the gas emission amount on the face, and the longer the time required for gas diffusion to the pipe jacking. The gas concentration on the opposite side of the air duct near the face of the pipe jacking is relatively high, and the gas is easy to gather. With the increase of air supply volume in the air duct, strong air flow is generated near the face, and the gas concentration near the face continues to decrease, but the rate of gas concentration reduction decreases. When the air supply volume in the air duct is 131 m3/min, the highest gas concentration in the pipe jacking is 4.57%, which is lower than the lower limit of gas explosion. With the increase of the distance between the air duct tuyere and the face, the maximum gas concentration in the pipe jacking first decreases and then increases. When the distance between the air duct tuyere and the face is 4 m, the maximum gas concentration in the pipe jacking reaches the minimum value of 4.41%. Based on this, a more reasonable ventilation parameter for pipe jacking construction is proposed.

    The effects of different diversion schemes on air flow and heat transfer in a countercurrent drying tower were studied by numerical simulation of maize drying process based on porous medium model. The influence of the angle box arrangement on the temperature field and velocity field in the tower was studied by numerical simulation and experiment. The results show that the cross arrangement of corner boxes can improve heat and mass transfer efficiency, reduce heat loss and solve the problem of uneven drying. At the same time, the increase of the inlet speed can also improve the uneven temperature distribution and improve the drying effect. It can be seen that the two key factors, the arrangement of the corner box and the inlet speed, should be fully considered in the design of the counter-current drying tower for corn drying. The optimization of drying tower structure can improve the overall drying efficiency and corn quality. The conclusion of this paper provides a useful reference for corn drying industry to reduce the cost and improve the quality of corn.

    In order to meet the demand for segment floating prediction in shield construction and the problem of insufficient training data for deep learning models, a set of shield segment floating prediction model was proposed by combining the tunneling mechanism of the shield machine with the process of segment floating.The numerical simulation software was used to simulate the process of segment floating of the shield structure, and using the large amount of numerical simulation data and the engineering field data for the deep learning training, so as to realize the data enhancement of the segment floating prediction model. The prediction model consists of the tube sheet floating process. The prediction model consists of a segment floating prediction model and two auxiliary models, which consider the interaction of active control and passive response parameters. Finally, a typical case study was carried out based on the shield section of the Beijing East 6th Ring Road Rehabilitation Project, and the results show that the prediction accuracy of the model is controlled within 4 mm, which meets the project requirements. The grouting parameters of the shield tail have the greatest influence on the model performance, followed by the digging parameters, and the shield attitude parameters have the smallest influence. Moreover, the training data of the segment floating based on the numerical simulation data can improve the prediction accuracy of the prediction model by 30%, which proves the effectiveness of the data enhancement method. The effectiveness of the data enhancement method is demonstrated. The data enhancement method based on numerical simulation data proposed in the article provides a new idea for the training and optimization of similar deep learning models.

    To address the issue of fault signal transient characteristics being easily affected by noise, leading to misidentification of feeders in single-phase ground faults within resonant grounded systems, a line selection method was proposed that combines parameter-optimized VMD (variational mode decomposition) and improved D-S (dempster-shafer) evidence theory for fault feature fusion. First, to tackle the challenge of selecting the penalty factor Alpha and decomposition level K parameters in VMD, NRBO (Newton-Raphson-based optimizer) is introduced to adaptively determine these parameters under different noise environments. Next, three fault features—kurtosis, polarity, and transient energy—was fused, and the Jousselme distance was incorporated into D-S evidence theory to prevent conflicting results caused by noise interference on fault features. This approach provides the probability of fault occurrence on each feeder, allowing for accurate fault feeder identification. Finally, Simulink simulation results demonstrate that the method can accurately identify the fault feeder across various noise levels and fault scenarios. Compared to other parameter optimization algorithms, it achieves faster convergence, and the introduction of Jousselme distance further enhances the reliability of fault feeder identification.
