Abstract
Excavation with tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) is a widely used method of tunneling in all ground types including soil and rock today. The paper addresses the shift from traditional subjective methods to data-driven approaches for advance classification of TBMs in hard rock tunnel excavation. By leveraging continuous TBM operational data, these methodologies offer more objective, transparent, continuous and reproducible assessments of excavation conditions. The challenges include the need for sophisticated computational tools to interpret complex interactions between rock mass, TBM machinery, and logistics that are sensitive to the whol... more
