Bias Error at Critical FrequenciesBias Error at Critical Frequencies
• Measuring a point source using line source model tends to over-predict the total force, or vise versa.
• At greater distance, both models give similar results

SummarySummary1. Tunnel construction programme may depends on the TBM GBN
prediction results.
2. Daytime GBN monitoring is a good method to check whether nighttime TBM construction should be stopped due to noise impact.
3. Continuous real-time vibration monitoring displayed in internetwith automatic alarm scan be considered for critical locations.
Direct Measurement & Modular Prediction ApproachesDirect Measurement & Modular Prediction Approaches4. Prediction based on direct measurement approach may have high
uncertainty.
5. Modular prediction approach allows detail study on the source, propagation and receiver response.
6. GBN distance correction shall be assessed at individual frequency band.
7. Excitation Force Level shall be determined for each TBM type in different geologies where practicable.
8. Point Source Response shall be measured at critical locations.
Wilson Acoustics Limited www.wal.hk
SummarySummary
9. Line source model is more appropriate for low frequency vibration prediction for TBM without gripper shoes.
10. Point source model is more appropriate for high frequency vibration prediction (i.e. groundborne noise).
TBM Operation ModesTBM Operation Modes
11. Doubling rotational speed leads to 4-5dB increase in Excitation Force Level, depending on geology.
12. Excitation Force Level increases with penetration rate (PR) and achieves maximum at PR of 5-10mm/rev for certain geology.
