A Study of the Large Diameter Shield TBM Excavation for Subway Tunnels

지하철 터널에 적용된 대구경 쉴드 TBM의 굴착성능 연구 분석

The objective of this study is controlling of the large diameter Shield TBM excavation for subway tunnels. In this paper, it will focus on the selection of Shield TBM and the problems of excavation due to unusual abrasion of the Disk Cutters and the distorted Cutter Mounts, in mixed layer of soil in below and hard rock in above, and in rock layer. And also, it will be discussed that the type of ground improvement to change and repair the Disk Cutters and the distorted Cutter Mounts, Advance Rate, Cutter Torque, etc. The results of this study will be using controlling of the excavation in various large diameter Shield TBM for subway tunnels.
