A Fragmentation-Centric Framework for Impact Hammer Selection in Immediate-Collapse-Prone Tunneling: Integrating Mucking Efficiency into Cycle-Time Optimization

Tunneling through weak rock masses under shallow urban overburdens is critically constrained by stand-up time. Conventional models for hydraulic impact hammers prioritize the excavation rate (Net Breaking Rate—<i>NBR</i>) but overlook a key operational bottleneck: the mucking process. Th...
