Quantification of extrusion-induced excavation volume in shield tunnelling through squeezing cohesive-frictional ground

Abstract When tunnelling through weak and highly deformable ground, relevant deformations occur ahead of the tunnel face and result in face displacements that are opposite to the advance direction (“extrusion”). In mechanised tunnelling, the cutterhead continuously removes the ground extruding at th...
