Developing Penetration Rate Prediction Models to Enhance the Productivity Prediction of Microtunneling Construction Projects
DownloadSpring 2023
Predicting the productivity of microtunnelling construction projects is challenging due to the inherent complexities of this trenchless excavation method. One of these complexities has to do with estimating the micro-tunnel boring machine penetration rate, given that it is subject to a number of...
