Abstract:With recent technological advancements, tunnel boring machines (TBM) have developed and exhibited high performance in large diameters and weak ground conditions. Tunnels are crucial structures that significantly influence the timelines of highway and railway projects. Therefore, the construction of tunnels with TBMs becomes a preferred option. In this study, a comparative analysis between TBM and the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) for tunnel construction is performed in the construction of the T1 tunnel … Show more
