... ABSTRACT ABSTRACT: Two methods of predicting tunnel boring machine (TBM) penetration rates in rock are discussed in relation to site conditions and TBM performance for a 4.3 m diameter and approximately 4.8 km length hard rock tunneling project in northern California. One method relies...

... ABSTRACT ABSTRACT: The Boreability Index ( I B ) is a measure of the full face boreability of the rock mass. The index I B can be calculated in two ways depending on the application. In a boreability model the index I B used is the quotient between net penetration rate and the two...
