Study on the optimum penetration depth by two TBM cutters under different cutter spacings

This paper investigates the optimum penetration depth and the synergistic effect of TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) rock breaking under the different cutter spacings. Indentation tests, using two TBM cutters, were conducted on sandstone specimens based on an improved uniaxial testing. Afterwards, morpho...
