Analysis of the two cases shows that soil pressure reaches its maximum point when the soil is right above machine head, and soil stress will gradually decline when machine head passes over it. It also shows that impact brought by pipe-jacking construction on stress change of the surrounding soil is limited. The thesis suggest that road surface should be consolidated and soil condition be improved before construction to prevent loss and disaster caused by road surface deformation, jacking force can be increased so that jacking efficiency can be enhanced when ground stratum is well filled with soil, but the frontal resistance facing machine head should be equal to surrounding soil pressure in order to avoid rise of ground surface.展开更多

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

In severe cases, it will cause pipeline rupture. MIDAS GTS was used to simulate the jacking process of a subway entrance and exit pipe jacking construction, and the influence of pipe jacking construction on the deformation of the upper existing pipeline was analyzed. The results are as follows: (1) When jacking, the maximum deformation of the pipeline occurs right above the jacking channel, and the maximum deformation meets the requirements of the code, so the subway entrance and exit jacking method is feasible;(2) In the process of pipe jacking construction, the vertical deformation of the pipeline is small, and the horizontal deformation of the pipeline is the controlled deformation. It is suggested to strengthen the monitoring of the horizontal deformation of the pipeline just above the pipe jacking channel.展开更多

文摘Jacking force is one of the important safety indicators during pipe jacking construction.Existing models for calculating jacking force are widely used in the calculation of jacking force for pipe with regular cross-sections.In this paper,considering pipe-soil interaction,the cross-sectional characteristics and the distribution characteristics between pipe and soil,the calculation equations for the jacking force of circular steel pipe with flange plate were proposed based on the pressure arch theory.The proposed equations were applied to calculate the jacking force for the Olympic Sports Center Subway Station of Line 9 in Shenyang,China,and the results were compared with the field monitoring data to predict the accurate jacking force.Based on the proposed equations,the influences of the flange plate position and steel pipe diameter on earth pressure around the pipe were analyzed.The functional relationship between the earth pressure and the position of flange plate or the pipe diameter was obtained,which provides design basis and theoretical guidance for engineering practice.

文摘Shipwreck salvage is a risky,time-consuming,and expensive process.Although there are many sunken ships along coastlines and in the open seas,the salvage process of a sunken ship has rarely been reported.The integrated salvage of the"Yangtze River EstuaryⅡ"shipwreck used a novel method with 22 closely locked curved rectangular pipes to form a watertight base that wrapped the shipwreck inside.The basing was lifted out of the water using a powerful crane situated on an engineering ship.For the first time,the tunneling method was used in a shipwreck salvage project,significantly reducing the disturbance to the shipwreck and its stowage,thereby preserving the original state and integrity of the shipwreck to the greatest extent.In this study,the basic concepts of the salvage method and process are explained.Solutions to critical issues in the new salvage method are provided,including jacking force prediction and major considerations for the structural design of the salvage system.The design of the salvage system and salvage process of the"Yangtze River EstuaryⅡ"shipwreck are introduced.The monitored jacking force,pipe deformation,and observed water-tightness verified that the proposed method was effective and efficient.Other possible application scenarios for the proposed method are presented at the end.

文摘For the project of pipe jacking in cohesionless soil,it is key to determine the vertical load on jacked pipe so as to predict the jacking force accurately.In this paper,a new parabolic soil arching model was proposed to calculate the vertical load on jacked pipe.This proposed analytical model was composed of parabolic soil arching zone,parabola-typed collapse zone and friction arch zone.Combined with existing literature,the key parameters(i.e.,height of parabolic soil arching,horizontal pressure coefficient and width and height of friction arch)were determined.In addition,considering that the trajectory of major stress is parabola,the formula of horizontal pressure coefficient was deduced in the friction arch.The parabolic soil arching zone is assumed as a three-hinged arch with reasonable arch axis,and the formula of load transfer was derived considering the transition effect of parabolic soil arching.The results of experiment,theoretical models and numerical model were adopted to verify the proposed analytical model.Finally,the influence of the key parameters on the vertical load on jacked pipe were also discussed in detail.This work provides a meaningful reference for evaluating the vertical load on jacked pipe for design of pipe jacking.

文摘The infrastructure in the urban core area is becoming increasingly dense,leading to restrictions on intensive development;however,there is a lack of adequate research on the structural mechanics of quasi-rectangular pipe jacking tunnels.This paper presents an experimental investigation that was conducted to analyze the impact of ground surcharge on the structural behavior of a quasi-rectangular tunnel located at Jing’an Temple station of Shanghai Rail Transit Line 14.The experimental setup included a scaled-down model of a quasi-rectangular tunnel,which was considered to be typical of underground structures.A series of tests were carried out by applying varying surcharge loads and eccentricities on the ground surface located above the tunnel.The tunnel structure’s response was monitored and analyzed through the use of earth pressure gauges,displacement sensors,and strain gauges.The experimental results revealed that ground surcharge on existing tunnels is mainly influenced by eccentricity and depth,with distinct effects at zero eccentricity and increasing eccentricity.Shallow tunnel burial depths intensify the impact of ground surcharge on the tunnel structure.
