TBM Tunnelling in Jointed and Faulted Rock Hardback
by Nick R. Barton
Hardback
- Information
Description
This practical guide describes the stage-by-stage development of a method for predicting the penetration rate (PR) and the advance rate (AR) for tunnel boring machines based on an expanded version of the Q-value, QTBM.
The author analyzes 145 TBM tunnels that total 1,000km in length.
He then develops simple formulae to estimate PR and AR from the QTBM value and to back-calculate QTBM from performance data.
The book quantitatively explains actual advance rates as high as five m/hr for one day or as low as 0.005 m/hr for several months.
It also covers logging methods, empirical TBM tunnel support design, and numerical verification of support.
