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 …

The stability of braced structures for the launch pit in pipe jacking plays a vital role in
structural safety during excavation and jacking drive. Through a deep launch pit in Foshan …

The mechanical response of conditioned soil in an earth chamber is crucial for maintaining
the face stability of earth pressure balance (EPB) box jacking. This study presents the project …

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 …

Constructing large-section underground structures using the pipe jacking technique
presents challenges, including the insufficient size of the rectangular pipe-jacking machine …
