Effect of Rock Abrasiveness on Wear of Shield Tunnelling in Bukit Timah Granite

Effect of Rock Abrasiveness on Wear of Shield Tunnelling in Bukit Timah Granite

The abrasiveness of rocks significantly influences the wear endured by excavation tools in tunnel boring machines (TBMs). In slurry shield TBMs, wear occurs not only in excavation tools but also in discharge pipes and pumps of slurry transport systems. To explore this phenomenon, this study investig...
