A Wedge in Saturated <strong>Sand</strong> <strong>Cutting</strong>.<br />

Figure 12-26, Figure 12-27 and Figure 12-28 are a great help determining whether or not a wedge will occur and<br />

at which blade angle it will start to occur.<br />

<strong>The</strong> theory developed can be applied to cutting processes of bulldozers, in front of the heel of a drag head, ice<br />

scour, tunnel boring machines and so on.<br />
