Suggestion of an empirical prognosis model for cutting tool wear of Hydroshield TBM
Graphical abstract Display Omitted
Highlights Empirical prognosis model for cutting tool wear on Hydroshield TBMs in soft ground. Influencing factors from TBM design, TBM advance and geotechnical parameters. Estimation of the chainage for maintenance stops for changing of worn out tools. Estimation of the required amount of cutting tool changes per maintenance stop. Verification and validation of the model based on reference projects.
Abstract The wear of cutting tools is a major issue in tunneling with Hydroshield TBM in soils, because it is a common reason for downtime. The replacement of cutting tools requires access to the excavation chamber, which is only possible with hyperbaric works or at fixed positions with prearranged grout blocks. In order to improve predictability of the maintenance stops, an empirical prognosis model for the wear of the cutting tools was developed. Based on the new Soil Abrasivity Index (SAI), the model helps to estimate distances between maintenance stops and the required amount of cutting tools to be changed. The authors validated the prognosis model based on the original reference projects. The validation leads to an adaption of the prognosis process and individual correction factors in the model itself. The article describes the updated prognosis model and validation results.
