Support Optimization of Open TBM Tunneling in Luohe Formation Sandstone by CT Test and Numerical Simulation

As underground engineering extends into the western and deeper regions of China, more and more Luohe Formation sandstone layers will be encountered, which have weak cementation and high water content. It is a significant challenge to apply the open TBM, and the support system is crucial in determini...
