Physical Properties and the Mechanics of Penetration and Loading of Bulk Materials as Related to Rapid Excavation

Abstract

The report describes work performed to obtain information on the physical properties of fragmented mined materials from both conventional and mechanical boring rapid excavation methods and to investigate the mechanics of penetration and loading of these materials. This information was used to determine the effects of physical properties of materials fragmented during the rapid excavation process on the equipment response. A total of 52 samples from 23 mining and tunnel sites was tested.
