Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Tunnel Boring Machine Advancements in Horizontal and Up-Hill TunnelsStefano Fuoco, Pierpaolo OresteProblem statement: Nowadays high levels of experience have been acquired in the excavation of horizontal tunnels using TBM, especially as far as tunnels with small diameters (about 4 m wide) are concerned. Less experience has been acquired in the excavation of tunnels under difficult alignment conditions, as in the case of steeply inclined excavations (up-hill tunnels). Approach: This study presented … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,848 accessesView PDF Cite
