Riverbed Surface Settlement Patterns Induced by Pipe Jacking Construction in River-Crossing Sections by SHENG Song-tao, AN Zi-yue, ZHOU Hong-yun, LIU Jie

“…In engineering practice, it is necessary to balance the selection of pipe diameter (large diameters improve jacking efficiency but increase subsidence risk), optimize grouting pressure (to suppress subsidence and avoid excessive uplift), and improve the disturbance resistance of soft soil through reinforcement (such as pre-grouting). (2) This study is the first to construct a 3D fluid-solid interaction model for pipe jacking in the river-crossing section, combining the strength reduction method and parameter sensitivity analysis to provide a theoretical basis for similar projects. …”
