Analysis and Research on the Tunnelling Technology of Compound EPB Shield Machine in High-strength Hard Rocks北大核心CSCD

It's really challenging for shield driving when hard rock partially intrudes into the excavation section of metro tunnels. Abnormal cutter wear is excessive during shield excavation in hard rock and comprehensive perfor⁃ mance of excavation system decreases greatly, resulting in abnormal advancing parameter, small penetration rate and low advance rate. Taking Shenzhen Metro line 9 project as the background, the main difficulties encountered for the compound EPB shield during driving in high-strength granite and the reasons were analyzed, the corresponding countermeasures were presented. EPB shield drove through the hard rock section safely and smoothly attributed to reasonable cutter configuration, in-time cutter replacement and proper advancing parameters. © 2018, Editorial Office of "Modern Tunnelling Technology".
