7 DOUBLE-SHIELD CROSS-SECTION 2 3 1
8 DOUBLE-SHIELD TBM
9 COMPARISON BETWEEN HARD ROCK TBM TYPES Single shield Double shield Open type For the poorest ground condition Used with pre-cast segments (required for thrust reaction) Pro s Relatively inexpensive Crew not exposed to rock Short shield, less prone to trapping Better steering ability No need of shotcrete Con s Slow advance rates Cyclic operation since machine forces are reacted via tunnel lining (cut/ring build) For poor to medium quality rock May be used with or without pre-cast segments Crew not exposed to rock Can erect lining while boring High advance rates Can operate as a Single Shield in poor ground Expensive Prone to becoming stuck in high overburden Large turn radius Large thrust force required (due to shield friction) For medium to high quality rock, gripper reaction needed to advance machine High advance rates Tight turn radius Inexpensive Easy mob/demob. Crew more exposed to rock Gripper pressure (~4MPa)
10 TBM SELECTION Very poor rock RQD <25% Poor rock RQD 25-50% Fair rock RQD 50-75% Good rock RQD 75-90% Very good rock RQD %

43 TBM PERFORMANCE PREDICTION TBM Predictor Model University of Trondheim (NTNU) Model Proprietary Models by Manufacturers
44 TBM PERFORMANCE PREDICTION AR = ROP x Utilization x Total shift hours AR: Daily advance rate (ft/day) ROP: Rate of Penetration (ft/hr) CL = Cutter life (cubic yards per cutter change)
45 TBM PREDICTOR MODEL ROCK DATA Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) Brazilian (Indirect) Tensile Strength (BTS) Cerchar Abrasivity Index (CAI) Punch Penetration Index
46 UNIAXIAL COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH (ASTM D ) Non-structural Failure Structural Failure BEFORE AFTER BEFORE AFTER
47 BRAZILIAN TENSILE STRENGTH (ASTM D ) Normal Failure Structural Failure T Tensile Strength (psi) F Failure Load (lbs.) L Thickness of the disk (in.) D Diameter of the disk (in.) Effect of Foliation on Tensile Strength
48 PUNCH PENETRATION TEST
49 CERCHAR ABRASIVITY TEST Cerchar Abrasivity Index (CAI) has proven to be fairly accurate and is commonly used for cutter life estimation. A series of sharp 90 hardened pins of heat-treated alloy steel are pulled across a freshly broken surface of the rock. The average dimensions of the resultant wear flats are related directly to cutter life in field operation. The geometry of the planned excavation then allows calculation of the expected cutter costs per unit volume of material. 10 CAI d i 1 i

53 USES OF TBM PREDICTOR MODEL Develop estimates of TBM penetration rates Develop estimates of cutter life and costs Evaluate different TBM proposals Develop specs for ideal TBM for a project Evaluate different size cutters for ROP and life Optimize TBM performance
54 CAUSES OF REDUCED ROP AND/OR HIGHER CUTTER WEAR Rock is harder/tougher and/or more abrasive than anticipated Less and/or adverse jointing, bedding and foliation than anticipated Cutterhead design, cutter layout, stability, steering, vibration, etc. TBM operation at reduced capacity-lower cutter load Optimistic TBM performance estimates
