Tunnelling with Full-Face Shielded Machines: A 3D Numerical Analysis of an Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) Excavation Sequence Using the Finite Element Method (FEM)

Tunnelling with Full-Face Shielded Machines: A 3D Numerical Analysis of an Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) Excavation Sequence Using the Finite Element Method (FEM)

Urban tunnelling can be highly challenging, especially in areas where limited ground settlements and environmental disturbance is required. Mechanised tunnelling is usually preferred in such ground environments, specifically Slurry or EPBM (Earth Pressure Balance Machine), depending on the ground pr...
