Abstract: |
Shield drives in fine-grained clay soils are often associated with clogging. The tendency of soils to clog depends on numerous parameters. The separation of fines out of the cohesive soil structure also often leads to negative effects. Whether a certain clay soil can become critical depends not only on the soil properties but also the hydrogeological and operating conditions. According to the quantity of water available (groundwater, support fluid), the soil can be altered to a critical consistency range. An evaluation diagram, which takes into account possible changes of water content during the tunnel drive, can be used to evaluate soils under changing conditions (change of available water quantity). |
