Structural stability for the tunnel and also the nearby structures and facilities is vital in this kind of work. Slurry pipe jacking was firmly established as a special method for the non-disruptive construction of underground pipelines of sewage systems. This method utilizes mud slurry that is formed around the pipes in order to stabilize the surrounding soil. In the pipe roof method the tubing elements that are constructed by slurry pipe jacking are near each other longitudinally, and create a rigid and stable lining before the excavation of the main tunnel. This paper discusses ＇the application of a slurry pipe jacking system on ＇the pipe roof method by means of numerical analysis. Because of the rigid behavior of the lining, the results show little subsidence, making this method a reliable method of constructing large tunnels with small cover in an urban area.展开更多

The rectangular pipe jacking machine occupies a small area during the initial excavation. It is suitable for shallow soil covering and short-distance excavation.

During the construction process, technical measures such as attitude measurement and adjustment of pipe jacking machine, surrounding rock grouting and friction reduction can effectively ensure the smooth construction of pipe jacking machine, and provide reference for large section pipe jacking machine in shallow soil construction.展开更多
