Validity of The NTNU Prediction Model for D&B Tunnelling
26 February, 2024
A number of predictive models for tunnelling works were established some decades ago by Norwegian researchers and continuously improved to better fit modern trends. This paper examines one such model, for Drill & Blast, against a range of recent project data from across the country. The findings demonstrate that while the empirical methodology is still highly relevant some further improvements, and additional empirical relations, are suggested to accommodate 16 years of development in technology, equipment, contractual issues and blast design
