Seattle WA 98108 Abstract This report is a complete translation of the German book "Mechanischer Tunnelvortrieb im Festgestein". It is an introduction to the principles of mechanized tunneling and provides detailed guidelines for practical application. The subject is introduced with a detailed review of technical aspects and terms relating to mechanized tunneling. This is followed by a discussion of the mechanics of rock cutting and implications on machine performance. Two related issues, the stability of underground openings and rock mass classification for tunneling are then presented; this serves the purpose of familiarizing the reader with aspects other than rock cutting that affect machine tunneling. All this forms the basis for a compre- hensive17, description of the entire mechanized18. tunneling system and its operation. Finally, recommendations for bid preparation and project execution are given, followed by a discussion of application limits. 19. 20.

Originating in the U.S.A. where it was used with spectac- ular success, mechanical tunnel cutting (or boring) has since been used on other continents and in other countries. Today, the greatest density of tunnel boring machines by any standard can be found in Europe. Although initially it was only used in low-strength sediments, mechanical tunnel boring machines today also cut high-strength and abrasive organic rock with technical as well as with economical success. Apart from a great number of successful tunneling projects which total several hundred kilometers, failures have also been recorded. Only in a few cases these could be attributed to the boring machines that were used. More often, the drive system was insufficient, or the condition of the rock required the withdrawal of a tunnel boring machine which was only designed for solid rock, or the management of the tunneling project did not acknowledge the special requirements of tunnel boring. These failures, wh ich for the most part could have been avoided, a s well as the fact that in journals and on occasion of tunneling symposiums on ly partial aspects of mechanical tunnel boring wer e dealt with, and that a complete presentation has been unavailabl e so far, hav e motivated the author to try to describe the proces s from all it s aspects. According to developmental trends, th e emphasis of the presentation lies on mechanical tunnel bor ing in medium and high-strength as well as in abrasive rock, and thus on full face excavation of radially symmetric cross sections This document is intended for construction managers, design and project engineers, as well as for students. The reader will find that mechanical tunnel boring is not the magic answer for tunnel building. However, he should also arrive at the conclusion that with critical planning and a project-oriented design of boring machines and systems as well as with a highly qualified work team and supervisory personnel, tunnels can be constructed within a wide range of geological conditions. These projects can be technically and economically more successful and can be constructed with more safety and speed than ever before. The author wants to express appreciation for: - the permission to visit the construction sites of numerous construction companies in Europe, North America and Africa. i i i . - the good contacts - in part existing for fourteen years: the manufacturers and representatives of the tunneling machine companies Atlas Copco Cp^’eviously Habegger) , Calweld, Demag, Dresser, Jarva, Lawrence, Robbins, and Wirth - the permission to publish research material of the Gotthard basis tunnel project: Dipl.-Ing. M. Portmann, director of the construction service of the Swiss Federal Railways. - the proofreading of the manuscript or parts thereof by Dipl.-Ing. W. Diethelm, Dipl.-Ing. A. Hurter, Dipl.-Ing. M.A. Borel and Dr.-Ing. M.A. Gaillard. Adi iswil/ Zur ich , May 1974 Werner Rutschmann Author IV , . , , - TRANSLATOR'S FOREWORD The widespread use of mechanized tunnel excavation has brought with it publication of many case histories and a variety of research reports and papers. Still missing so far was a textbook or similar publication that introduces principles and basic practical issues and that provides the tunnel designer and project manager with a guideline on how to consider mechanized tunneling. This gap has, to a large extent, been closed by the book " Mechanischer Tunnelvortrieb i n Fes tgestein" , which has been completely translated and Ts^ - - - presented as this Report No. UMTA-MA- 0 6 0100 79 1 2 . The author, Werner Rutschmann,* a tunnel designer and project manager with over 30 years of experience, has been involved in modern mechanized tunneling since its beginning. During the course of his work he not only became a leading expert in the area, reflected by his many consulting jobs involving tunnel boring machine application, but he also became con- vinced that the tunnel engineer needs to tailor his design to the excavation methods shown herein and thus should be familiar with machined tunnels. As indicated in Rutschmann's foreword, the book attempts to satisfy this objective and to serve also as an educational tool for civil and mining engineering students. The book was originally written in German and published by VDI Publishing House, Düsseldorf, in 1974 (VDI, Verein Deutscher Ingenieure, the German Engineering Society) . Richard Robbins who was aware of the book's existence and who saw the necessity of providing the tunnel design profession and newcomers to mechanized tunneling with a solid background, suggested its translation to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Russel MacFarland favorably responded to this idea and initiated negotiations with the author and publisher.

The principal point of this program was a detailed scientific analysis of the orbital and surface experiments data derived from Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17. One of the requirements of this program was the production of detailed photo base maps at a useable scale. NASA in conjunction with the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) commenced a mapping program in early 1973 that would lead to the production of the necessary maps based on the need for certain areas. This paper is designed to present in outline form the neces- sary background informatiox or users to become familiar with the program. MAP FORMAT * The scale chosen for the project was 1:250,000 . The re- search being done required a scale that Principal Investigators (PI'S) using orbital photography could use, but would also serve PI'S doing surface photographic investigations. Each map sheet covers an area four degrees north/south by five degrees east/west.

I think a fair amount of learning takes place by erosion – if you’re simply exposed to something often enough, it will sink in. Maybe not deeply, but enough to give you the idea. Hang around with musicians, you get some idea of what goes into music – maybe not enough to make you a musician yourself, but you’ll be a lot more knowledgeable about it than if you spent no time on it at all. However, I hope that you’ll try reading some of these sections. They’re not deep, and if you get fed up, you can always go on to the next story. Sherlock Holmes was fond of telling Watson that, when you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. It's certainly a simple, insightful, and elegantly phrased remark.
