Principal of stabilization of tunnel foundations built on collapsible loess Based on engineering properties of collapsible loess and experiences from previous treatment measures of loess foundations, protections should go on firstly and then apply some treat measures in stabilization of tunnel foundation built on collapsible loess.
For loess soils, solutions of foundation are to improve engineering properties of these soils, to decrease impermeability and compressibility and thus prevent occurrence of collapse.
All these solutions were developed from civil engineering and were applied broadly.
The root pile was applied broadly in civil engineering and was applied in tunnel foundation in recent years.

Model Experimental Study on Damage Identification for Transmission Tower Ling Zhoua, Hua Chengb, Zhonggang Wangc and Yunbo Leid Department of Civil Engineering, Logistical Engineering University, Chongqing, 401311, China azhouling830@163.com,bchwjct@163.com,czhonggangwang@sina.com,dmuchmuchlei@sina.com Key words: Model Experiment; Dynamic Similarity; Damage Identification; Transmission Tower Abstract.
Existing research indicates that the vibration of transmission tower is more complex than general civil engineering, and dynamic characteristics is influenced much by external environment and incitation, which leads many present damage identification methods and indexes difficult to be applied [5].

The Dynamic Response Simulation Analysis of U-shaped Metro Tunnel Yuan Liqun1, 2,a, Men Yuming1 and Liu Hongjia3 1School of Geology Engineering and Surveying Changan UniversityXian 710054, Shaanxi, China 2School of Civil Engineering Ludong University Yantai 264025, Shandong, China 3College of Civil Engineering and Urban Construction Jiujiang University Jiujiang332005, Jiangxi, China aE-mail: liqunyuan@163.com Keywords: Ground fissure; subway tunnel; train loads; Dynamic response; Abstract: In order to make model loading plan reasonably, point loads and moving loads are used in the finite element calculation model of subway tunnel, and the result shows that: the time-history curves of acceleration are uniform under two conditions of point loads and moving loads in the U-shaped Metro tunnel orthogonal with the ground fissure, and they are consistent with the load curve.
The research on interaction of ground fissures-stratum-subway tunnel dynamic under the effect of subway dynamic load and their hazards control is not only the inevitable important scientific problem in the construction of subway in Xi’an, but also an important problem to be solved in the construction of underground engineering, which has an important meaning for further improving the research level of the subway security in China and promoting the combination of ground fissure disasters research and engineering practice.
It also will promote further innovation and breakthrough of disaster prevention and mitigation in underground engineering.
