| Abstract: | Summary Shore hardness has been used to estimate some mechanical and physical properties of rocks for many years. This study differs
from previous studies in a way that it is directly oriented to rock cuttability. Two Shore hardness values (SH
1 andSH
2) and a coefficient of deformation value (K) have been measured for 30 different rock samples. In the first stage of the study, optimum specific energy values for 16
different rock samples obtained from full-scale cutting tests were correlated with the Shore hardness values of the same rock
samples changingSH
1 values from 9 to 66 andSH
2 values from 25 to 83, with deformation coefficient values changing from 26 to 195. In the second stage, the performance of
a roadheader used in the Kü?üksu (Istanbul) tunnel was recorded in detail and the instantaneous cutting rate of the machine
was determined. Then, the relationship between Shore hardness values, deformation coefficient and the instantaneous cutting
rate of the machine was determined for different formations encountered. It is concluded that there is a relationship between
Shore hardness values, optimum specific energy and compressive strength, which may be used to estimate the rock cuttability
and the instantaneous cutting rates of roadheaders within certain limits of reliability. |
