Abstract:In mechanized tunneling, so-called tunnel boring machines (TBMs) drill through the ground in an automatized manner. Therefore, the drilling process is very efficient but the maintenance costs are high. Seismic exploration seems appropriate to identify changing ground conditions in front of the TBM to reduce costs from damages of the TBM and from the corresponding dwell times. Today's seismic exploration techniques are using only a small amount of the information, which is contained in the seismic records from … Show more
