Tunnelling through various ground condition affects the performance of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). Previous researches have conducted studies to explain on this relationship. However, a more localised influence of Malaysian Kenny Hill Formation subsurface condition towards TBM drive are yet to be carried out. This study will assess this relationsh...

Context 4
... the drop of TBM drive at Ring 10 for both NB and SB are proven in this matter. Theoretically, the decline of TBM thrust force will increase the penetration speed, which can be shown in Figure 10. This is due to the lesser work done required to penetrate weaker subsurface profiles. ...
