N2 - The performance of a full face tunnel boring machine (Herrenknecht TBM) was evaluated within the research program of this study. TBM having a diameter of 2.9 m and cutting power of 560 kW was used to excavate the tunnel of 13270 m in length, which was situated between Sariyer and Baltaliman. The main rock formations are Paleozoic aged sedimentary rocks, limestone, sandstone-siltstone, andesite dykes and sediment fillings. The project was commissioned to Tinsa - Öztaş - Hazinedaroǧlu - Simelko consortium. The performance of TBM was recorded continuously for detailed shift analysis. A limestone block having dimensions of 0.4 × 0.5 × 0.4 m, representing majority of the rock formations was collected from one of the shafts. This rock block was subjected to full scale instrumented laboratory cutting tests using a disc cutter taken from the TBM. The relationship between thrust force and depth of cut was compared to the one obtained in the field. It is concluded that accumulated data and instrumented full scale rock cutting tests may serve as a valuable tool to predict the performance of full face tunnel boring machines in any type of rock formation.
