摘      要：To clarify some aspects of rock destruction with a disc acting on a high confined tunnel face, a series of tests were carried out to examine fracture mechanisms under an indenter that simulates the tunnel boring machine （TBM） tool action, in the presence of an adjacent groove, when a state of stress （lateral confinement） is imposed on a rock sample. These tests proved the importance of carefully establishing the optimal distance of grooves produced by discs acting on a confined surface, and the value （as a mere order of magnitude） of the increase of the thrust to produce the initiation of chip formation, as long as the confinement pressure becomes greater.
