About this document
Rock Mass Excavability for Tunneling by Kittu tangellapalli is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document introduces a new Rock Mass Excavability (RME) indicator to help select the optimal tunnel construction method. The RME index is based on 5 parameters: rock strength, abrasivity, jointing, stand-up time, and groundwater. Data from over 23 km of tunnels was used to establish statistical correlations between RME and tunneling metrics. The RME indicator considers both rock conditions and tunnel boring machine (TBM) characteristics. It can help designers and contractors choose the most effective co
