Abstract:The large cross-section rectangular pipe jacking to cross the rivers at short range has a certain risks. It is necessary to use the suitable scheme to reduce the excavation risk of tunnel in the design and construction. Relying on the large cross-section rectangular pipe jacking tunnel project of Luxiang Road - Qilianshan Road, the numerical analysis methods are used to analyze the method of first-jacking and then anti-floating construction, and the method of first anti-floating and then jacking construction. Based on the construction process and numerical simulation results, the schemes are compared and selected. The excavation scheme of first-jacking and then anti-floating construction is established. The construction monitoring results show that the overall settlement of the pipe jacking structure is slightly, about 2.5 mm, and the maximum floating of the pipe segment is about 30 mm for some time after the connection.
