A case study on TBM cutterhead temperature monitoring and mud cake formation discrimination method

Abstract The mud cake is easily formed during the tunnel boring machine (TBM) excavation in clay soils or rocks containing clay minerals. Mud cake will lead to soil disturbance of tunnel face, clogging cutterhead and even affect the construction efficiency and personnel safety. In this study, a disc...
