| Summary: | Rock cutting technique is a technique to excavate , cut or break the rock to prepare the construction site or underground space Uke a tunnel, road or highway and dam foundation. There are several types of rock cutting technique such as drilling and blasting or by mechanical tools. The rock cutting technique by mechanical technique was developed in rock cutting mechanism theory . The theory is to characterised the cutting force to cut the rock materials required under the action of specified tools. This study is concern with the different rock cutting techniques conducted for rock engineering works . In Malaysia case study is carried out to study the different techniques adopted presently at two differents project in Malaysia. The projects involved are :-
i) Sungai Kerinchi Water Transfer Tunnel. ( Tunnel Boring Machine
ii)The New Genting Sempah Tunnel ( Drill and blast) |
