Evaluation of the Adaptability of an EPB TBM to Tunnelling through Highly Variable Composite Strata

The adaptability of an earth pressure balance (EPB) tunnel boring machine (TBM) to complex geological strata needs to be evaluated when a tunnel project is set up. It is helpful for better design and more suitable technical parameters of the machine. Because the factors that influence adaptability a...
