Tunnel boring machine performance prediction in tropically weathered granite through empirical and computational methods

Many works highlight the use of effective parameters in Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) performance predictive models. However, there is a lack of study considering the effects of tropically weathered rock mass in these models. This research aims to develop several models for predicting Penetration Rate...
