Abstract
Pipe jacking has been widely used in urban underground engineering construction in recent years. Prediction of ground deformation caused by pipe jacking is particularly important for the safety of construction. With regard to the densely arranged pipes used in the pipe roof structure method, an analytical model of stratum disturbance caused by jacking of parallel rectangular pipes is proposed on the basis of Mindlin’s displacement solution and the stochastic medium theory. The influencing factors such as soil loss, additional thrust on the excavation face, friction between pipe jacking machine and soil, friction between subsequent pipes and soil, and the grouting pressure were comprehensively considered. Then, a 3D numerical simulation and a case study were conducted. The results showed consistent agreement with the analytical solution, and the proposed method can take into account the asymmetry of surface settlement curve induced by construction. A discussion of the ground deformation law shows that the proposed approach can reasonably predict the ground deformation and provide a reference for relevant pipe jacking construction.
