Analysis on Surrounding Environment Influence Induced by Rectangular Pipe Jacking and the Control Scheme
Based on rectangular pipe jacking project of the No.1 entrance of Qingshi Road station on Wuxi metro Line 4, to analysis how different treating methods work in the aspect of vertical deformation of the pile foundation around the pipe jacking tunnel and the ground settlement during pipe-jacking construction process, a 3-D finite element simulation model which simulate the process of rectangular pipe jacking crossing under viaduct is established. Some conclusions is drawn as follow: (1) the combination of isolation piles and shallow soils grouting reinforcements can constrain the vertical and horizontal deformation of the pile foundation and ground settlement caused by rectangular pipe jacking. (2) Both the maximum ground settlement and maximum ground heave can meet the requirement of special monitoring. (3) The result of the simulation is basically consistent with on-site monitoring data, which can prove the availability of the simulation and the treatment scheme.
