11 Rock boreability TBM boreability can be defined as : The resistance (in terms of ease or difficulty) encountered by a TBM as it penetrates a rock mass (intact rock containing planes of weakness) Intact rock Drillability Rock mass 11
12 Rock boreability t 0 i M M 1 b (mm/rev) i 0 = basic penetration rate M t = gross cutter thrust M 1 = critical cutter thrust b = penetration coefficient 12 Modified from Bruland (2000)

29 Rock Mass Assessments There is no single parameter that can fully represent the properties of jointed rock masses Rock mass classification Author Year Rock Quality Designation (RQD) D.U. Deere 1964 Rock Mass Rating (RMR) Z.T. Bieniawki 1973 Rock Tunnelling Quality Index (Q) N. Barton, R. Lien and J. Lunde 1974 Degree of fracturing (k s factor) NTNU (NTH) 1981 Rock Mass Index (RMi) A. Palmström Geological Strength Index (GSI) E. Hoek and E.T. Brown 1997
30 Rock Mass Assessments In hard rock tunnel boring: Discontinuities or planes of weakness in a rock mass contribute considerably to net penetration rate and cutter wear Degree of fracturing Orientation regarding to the tunnel alignment Joint characteristics (filling, persistence ) In/situ stress 30
31 Rock Mass Assessments Fracture Class (Sf) Average spacing between fractures a f (cm) Range class (cm) Degree of fracturing Non-fractured Extremely low Very low Low Medium High Very high Extremely high 31
