This paper provides a review of the history and development of pipe jacking and
microtunneling methods with extensive referencing to the published literature. The …

Previous studies on pipe friction resistance are mainly concentrated in the soil layer,
whereas the study on that in the rock stratum is limited. To estimate the pipe friction …

There are several well-established jacking force models available for determining the
jacking loads. However, their ability to characterise the tunnel bore conditions is limited. A …

In rectangular pipe-jacking, excessive friction force resulting from the pipe-soil interaction is
the dominant factor hindering its further application in long-distance, larger-section, and …

This paper summarises the main technical problems that have been encountered in the
Chongqing Guanjingkou Water Conservancy Project, which is the first ultra-long-distance …

Ground surface settlement is one of the critical parameters that needs to be controlled strictly
during pipe jacking. The calculation model for estimating the ground deformation induced by …

Pipe jacking is a commonly used trenchless technology to install pipelines especially in
congested urban areas or river crossings. However, the estimation of the jacking force is …

As a lubricant, bentonite slurry is widely used in rectangular box jacking projects with large
lengths and large sections under complicated geological conditions. Furthermore, the box …

For long-distance rock pipe jacking, the coupled actions of mud float and sediment generate
pipe-rock interactions, which are challenging from the analysis point of view and the general …

When large-section rectangular pipe jacking is performed in anhydrous sand strata, due to
the special geological condition and construction specification, there are specific …
