Abstract:With the developement and utilization of underground space, the rectangular pipe jacking method has been widely used in underground engineering construction. The paper analyzes the risks and main problems in the construction based on the rectangular pipe jacking project of Shenwai High School Station of Shenzhen Metro Line 8 in shallow underground space construction. By introducing the main problems in the projects, the control measures of the projects under the rectangular pipe jacking construction are summarized. It can be taken as a reference for the design and construction of the rectangular pipe jacking method adopted in shallow underground space.
