Abstract Brittleness is an important mechanical property of rock. Accurately evaluating rock brittleness and its influence on the TBM tunnelling performance is necessary. In this work, via two practical engineering cases, with the aim of overcoming the difficulty of penetrating extremely hard rock (breccia fused tuff) in the $$Z{\text{huxi}}$$ Z huxi project, the influence of rock brittleness on the TBM tunnelling performance was studied via comparative analysis with that $$Nabang$$ Nabang project. Seven commonly used rock brittleness indices based on stress‒strain curves were summarized, and a brittleness evaluation method suitable for extremely hard rock was determined by introducing the normalized specific energy to obtain brittleness indices for two lithologies (breccia fused tuff and biotite hornblende plagioclase gneiss) in two projects. The influences of rock brittleness on penetration and the specific energy were compared and analysed. The results showed that the brittleness indices $$B3$$ B 3 and $$B5$$ B 5 were more suitable for evaluating rock brittleness. Rock brittleness influenced the TBM tunnelling performance, but this influence gradually decreased with decreasing uniaxial compressive strength ( $$UCS$$ UCS ), which is obviously less than that of the rock strength. When the $$UCS$$ UCS was lower than 150 MPa, the TBM tunnelling parameters could be adjusted within a significant margin to eliminate the influence of rock brittleness, which could be ignored when predicting the tunnelling performance. When the $$UCS$$ UCS was greater than 150 MPa, rock brittleness imposed a notable influence on the tunnelling performance, which must be considered when predicting the tunnelling performance. This research could provide reference data for evaluating the hard rock brittleness index and accurately predicting the TBM tunnelling performance in engineering practice. |
