Abstract
Underground structures in shales or shaly rocks endure time-dependent swelling effects. Laboratory test results show that the swelling of these shales is dependent on three-dimensional stresses; an external stress on a specimen in one principal direction reduces the swelling not only in that direction but also perpendicularly. The effectiveness of a time-dependent swelling model that considers the three-dimensional stress effect is presented in this paper. A finite element algorithm incorporating the new constitutive model is used for a numerical analysis. The finite element program is used to analyze two tunnels in southern Ontario: the Heart Lake storm sewer tunnel, and the Darlington cold-water intake tunnel. The predicted results agree well with the records of field performance of these tunnels. The comparison between present analyses and the existing closed-form solution shows that the existing solution overestimates the time-dependent swelling effects. The three-dimensional stress effects on swelling are not considered in the closed-form solutions and are the cause of this discrepancy. The pseudo-Poisson's effect is a key parameter for modelling the observed time-dependent swelling. The use of these solutions in design is discussed.Key words: time-dependent swelling, shale, modelling, three-dimensional stress effect, finite element method, tunnel.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
