The interaction of tunnel boring machines with the rock mass is highly influenced by human, technical and geological factors. Interpretation of geological observations and TBM data is currently done on a subjective basis. Technologies based on Artificial Intelligence research, can be used to automatically classify TBM data into rock mass behaviour types. Albeit first results look promising, any technology...
As part of the Brenner Base Tunnel project, the currently running Tulfes‐Pfons construction lot includes a stretch of the exploratory tunnel (ET), which has a length of 15 km and is being bored by a gripper TBM. During this tunnelling work, a diverse and broad set of exploration techniques is being used. Although it is an exploratory tunnel, the tunnel is subject to the same constraints as a performance...
