Wear of Rock Cutting Tools Implications for the Site Investigation of Rock Dredging Projects

By P.N.W. Verhoef Copyright 1997

    This text deals with the dredging of rock by large cutter suction dredgers. The rock properties influencing the mechanical cutting of rock and the wear of cutting teeth are examined, and to verify the model of mechanical rock excavation developed, case studies of dredging projects were performed.
