Face stability conditions in granular soils during the advancing and stopping of earth-pressure-balanced-shield machine

Xiongyu Hu et al.

Summary: The study found that the mechanism of face failure differs significantly between the EPBS machine advancing and stopping. When the EPBS machine continued to advance, a partial face failure mode and a larger limit face pressure were observed. In contrast, a global face failure mode and a smaller limit face pressure were observed when the EPBS machine stopped.

Influence of the Cutterhead Configuration and Operation Parameters on the Face Stability of EPB Shield Tunnels in Dry Granular Soils

Xiongyu Hu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the face stability of EPB shield tunnels in dry granular soils using the discrete element model method, finding that both the open ratio and rotation speed of the cutterhead significantly affect face stability, with the failure zone highly dependent on the open ratio.
