A new model for TBM performance prediction in blocky rock conditions

Jian Zhao, Andrea Delisio

The term "blocky rock conditions" is generally associated with face instabilities in blocky/jointed rock masses. These events are generally promoted by unfavorable rock mass structural conditions, in terms of joint frequency and orientation, and acting str ...

Review of the TBM performance in blocky rocks with potential face stability issues

Jian Zhao, Andrea Delisio

In blocky/jointed rock masses, the combined effects of the rock mass structure and the in-situ state of stress may lead to severe instabilities of the excavation face which may become "blocky". Large breakout and rock block detachment from the tunnel face ...

Analysis and prediction of TBM performance in blocky rock conditions at the Lotschberg Base Tunnel

Jian Zhao, Andrea Delisio

This paper focuses on the analysis of the TBM performance recorded during the excavation of the Lotschberg Base Tunnel. The southern part of the tunnel was excavated by two gripper TBMs, partly through blocky rock masses at great depth. The jointed nature ...
