Abstract: In this paper, rock properties including uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), Brazilian tensile strength (BTS) and density (D) of rock is examined to estimate the drilling rate index (DRI) for hard rock tunneling. For this aim, dataset having 63 data-points is established and then several linear and non-linear simple and multiple regression models have been conducted to develop the most...
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine rock properties and driller specifications to estimate drilling rate (DR) for percussion drillers. In order to predict the DR, data that is belongs to percussion drilling were collected from the literature and re-constructed to compute rock brittleness (BI) as a function of strength both uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and Brazilian tensile strength...
