Examining The Effect Of Adverse Geological Conditions On Jamming Of A Single Shielded Tbm In Uluabat Tunnel (in Türkiye) Using Numerical Modeling

    Erdem Mertoğlu

    Severe shield jamming events have been reported during excavation of Uluabat tunnel through adverse geological conditions, which resulted in several stoppages at advancing a single shielded tunnel boring machine (TBM). To study the jamming mechanism, three-dimensional (3D) simulation of the machine and surrounding ground was implemented using the finite difference code FLAC3D......
