Study on the Classification and Identification Methods of Surrounding Rock Excavatability Based on the Rock-Breaking Performance of Tunnel Boring Machines

Rock mass conditions are extremely sensitive to tunnel boring machine (TBM) tunneling. Therefore, establishing a surrounding rock excavatability (SRE) classification system applicable to TBM tunnels. Accurately and intelligently identifying excavatability grades can also facilitate efficient TBM tun...
