Understanding the relationship between plasticity of muddy soil and earth pressure can be crucial to maintaining tunnel stability and predicting ground behavior during earth pressure balance (EPB) ...
Earth pressure balance (EPB) shield tunneling has evolved into a critical method for constructing underground passages in soft and mixed ground conditions. This technique utilises the simultaneous ...
The folks at TRW have come up with a revolutionary idea for reducing the piston ring drag of the top compression ring. It is called the Pressure Balance Ring (PBR). Essentially, the PBR design amounts ...
