On the critical particle size of soil with clogging potential in shield tunneling

Shield tunneling is easily obstructed by clogging in clayey strata with small soil particles. However, soil clogging rarely occurs in strata with coarse-grained soils. Theoretically, a critical particle size of soils should exist, below which there is a high risk of soil clogging in shield tunneling...
