Abstract
With technological progress in recent years, supersized rectangular jacked pipe tunnels have been increasingly used for developing urban road-crossing nodes, owing to their convenient construction and economic benefits. However, owing to the weak waterproofing performance of the joint, jacked supersized rectangular pipes have been employed beneath a navigable river. This study used on-site monitoring data of an underground expressway with supersized rectangular jacked pipe tunnels in Shanghai. Additionally, we analyzed the deformation of the ground surface and embankment and the mutual influence of jacked adjacent pipes. The results revealed the following. 1) the over-excavation of the jacked pipe causes partial surface subsidence. The jacking parameters were adjusted through feedback to control the surface deformation. 2) The spatial deformation of the old embankment were stabilized, suggesting the successful realization of micro-disturbance jacking construction. 3) The secondary disturbance of the soil due to post-construction causes a slight sinking and tilting trend of the former jacked tunnel.
