Using Intact Rock Brittleness for Assessing TBM Penetration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The paper reviews the history of the punch penetration test (PPT) as a laboratory method that is conducted on intact sample to measure the rock brittleness (BI). Further, the interaction of rock brittleness and penetration rate of tunnel boring machine (TBM) has been examined and some relationship was developed between the BI and TBM penetration. For this aim, four tunnel projects having various rock types were studied and then four different dataset is examined and discussed herein. It is stated that the test via BI can be perfectly utilized for assessing the boreability of rocks. In conclusion, it is found that there is a relationship between the BI and TBMs penetration with correlation coefficient (r) ranging from 0.34-0.81 for hard rocks condition; however this correlation is quite low (0.34) for weathered and very weak sedimentary rocks categorized as extremely low brittle. The obtained results can be accepted for hard rocks but it should be used with care for weathered weak rocks that does not show brittleness behavior under the indentor.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
