THE EFFECTS OF WATER CONTENT AND GRAIN SIZE ON THE CLOGGING AND ABRASIVITY OF FINE-GRAINED SOILS IN MECHANIZED EXCAVATION
Clogging during excavation is one of the common problems in mechanized excavation.Among the influential factors in clogging of lock shock and barrel art the cutter head, we can mention the percentage of fine soil particles (under 200 mesh sieve), soil moisture, and soil type.In this study, to investigate the mechanism of tunnel excavation in the la
