Three significant TBM operational parameters, the cutterhead torque, the thrust and the net advance rate, are predicted in this framework, which provide suggested settings for TBM excavation in hard rock.
Excavation of deep hard rock tunnels disturbs the initial stress imbalance, which can lead to rockburst, spalling and/or collapse. The disasters are related not only to the strength of the rock mass, but also to the excavation stress path. By analysing and summarizing a large number of engineering cases, the surrounding rock of a deep …
To calculate excavation costs, multiply the excavated zone's length, width, and depth to estimate its volume. To obtain the cost of excavation, multiply the total excavation volume by the price of the area per unit. If the price per unit is $8, then the total price will be; Total price= 300*8=$2400.
