  • This research explores the performance of underground mechanical excavation systems in the field. A general analytical estimation model developed earlier that enables analysis of underground mechanical excavation in similar geological conditions to be compared is subjected to verification using real case studies. It relied on understanding of the rock/soil cutting process at the machine-geomaterial interaction interface, geomaterial properties, machine characteristics and mathematical techniques of dimensional analysis. The study presents a theoretical tunneling thrust prediction model that systematically builds upon soil-machine interactions.It also presents an analytical estimation to deal with tunneling management in different mechanised excavation methods (tunnel boring machine, shield tunnel and pipe jacking), construction types (earth pressure balance, slurry pressure balance, thick-mud), and geological conditions (soil, gravel and rock) by normalizing their total thrust system using dimensional analysis.
    The results from this study reveal interesting findings. First, that thrust can be given as a range of critical values. Also developed are dimensionless parameters that can be used to cluster rock/soil cutting into clusters. Second, that real-time data would be used to predict inefficient or hazardous cutting conditions. The study results show a promising method of monitoring tunneling machine performance given more data and sensitivity analysis.
