In the case that the affected airport administration does not prescribe any other loads, then, according to [ATVA161], calculations can be carried out in accordance with the reference aircraft DAC 90 to DAC 750 shown in Tabelle 14.1.5.3 and the corresponding loads. (Table: Assignment of the reference aircraft) (Image: Soil stresses resulting from aircraft traffic loads [ATVA161])
The decisive soil stresses from aircraft traffic loads can be taken from

Besides the already mentioned earth and traffic loads, the following loads lateral to the pipe axis must also be considered (Tabelle 14.1) : - Dead weight
The dead weight of the pipes are calculated from the wall thickness and the weight per unit volume of the pipe material.
- Water filling up to the pipe crown
The water filling must be calculated as being up to the pipe crown. Part fillings are not considered.
- Internal overpressure or vacuum
The internal …

(Table: Determination of section forces perpendicular to the pipe axis [ATVA161]) |
Despite being a member of the plane structures group, because of their geometry within the scope of section force determination according to ATV-A 161E [ATVA161], circular jacking pipes are often simply viewed as circular ring carriers. They represent …

According to Formel 14.1.8.1, the normal stresses acting in the pipe wall in the ring direction, e.g. perpendicular to the pipe axis are determined using the section forces calculated in Abschnitt 14.1.7 by: (Formula: Calculation of the normal stress in the pipe wall in the ring direction)
The correction factor for the pipe curve αK is determined with reference to the pipe material as follows: - For jacking pipes of reinforced concrete, fibre cement …

For steel pipes, besides the stress assessment, the permissible deformation in the construction and operating state must be determined, ATV-A 161E [ATVA161] is not applicable for flexible pipes such as plastic and GRP pipes but can be adapted for these materials. The greatest permissible deformation in the form of changes in diameter is generally 3% and under rail tracks 2%. For the deformation assessment of flexible pipes, the relative change in diameter …

The assessment of safety against buckling, like the deformation assessment, is only necessary for flexible jacking pipes, i.e. pipes whose deformation substantially affects their carrying capacity. The bedding soil here is usually an important component of the carrier system. The critical buckling pressure pk is compared with the influences of vertical total load, maximum groundwater level and vacuum. If lubrication and support media have been injected …

Possible fatigue of the jacking pipes under frequent changes of load for not predominantly static loads must be considered in the fatigue strength assessment. This assessment is always required for jacking under rail traffic loads. When jacking under roads, the assessment can be required. With cover depths greater than 1.5 m, it is usually not required. However, it must be shown that especially the section forces in the pipe wall from traffic loads, …

The safety coefficients used in ATV-A 161E [ATVA161] have been determined based on the probabilistic reliability theory for pipes installed in the open cut method [Fuchs84]. Here the dispersion of the loading ability of the pipes (e.g. strength, dimensions) and the load (e.g. soil properties, traffic loads) have been taken into account. These safety coefficients can also be approximated for jacking pipes. Because of the different types of dispersions …

Further loads on the pipes can be caused by unplanned deviations of technical influences or material properties. Among these especially are: - Exceeding and falling below the planned overcut
- Exceeding the deviations on which the dimensions are based with reference to the proposed line and gradient (line path).
- Exceeding the maximum permissible jacking forces
- Other jacking errors
- Deviations from the material properties and geometry (shape) of the pressure …

The support force or the face resistance should be greater than the active earth pressure in order to prevent subsidence at the ground surface and should be less than the passive earth pressure in order to exclude heaving (Bild …

According to Formel 14.2.2.1, the frictional resistance in jacking for planned straight line path is the result of the integration of the skin friction over the surface of the jacking or shield machine and the jacking pipes by: (Formula: Calculation of the frictional resistance) The determination of the skin friction is based on the laws of friction known from mechanics shown in Formel 14.2.2.1 : (Formula: Calculation of the skin friction) The coefficient …

In addition to the frictional resistances mentioned in Abschnitt 14.2.2.1, there is a further frictional resistance caused by the loading of the jacking pipes perpendicular to the pipe axis of the drive forces when jacking sections with curved paths (Abschnitt 14.1.10). According to [Okada00] [FI-Kidoh], this additional frictional resistance for pipes with tightly curved paths of radii < 30 DN/OD is acquired with the following empirical Formel 14.2.2.2

According to ATV-A 161E [ATVA161], the equation for the permissible jacking force (per V) at the jacking or main jacking station taking the offset of its force application into account is according to Formel 14.3.1.1 : (Formula: Calculation of permissible jacking force according to ATV-A 161E [ATVA161]) According to the theoretical safety background of the ATV-A 161E [ATVA161], γ is a global safety coefficient that covers the possible overstepping …

(Image: Parabola-rectangle diagram for concrete [DINENV1992-1]) The method of calculating the acceptable jacking force to EN 1916 [DINprEN1916] is applicable to jacking pipes of concrete, steel fibre concrete and reinforced concrete. For this purpose, a non-linear stress-strain diagram is used (Bild 14.3.1.2) which permits determining the distributions of the stress and force accurately. Conditioned by these assumptions and the consideration of the …

Pressure transfer rings of wood and wooden materials are the most used for jacking pipes with nonrestrained socket and spigot joints for pressing-in and pushing-in because of their low lateral strain. According to ATV-A 125E [ATVA125:1996], use is made of coniferous wood (spruce, fir) as knot-free solid wood or plywood or chipboards (flat pressed board). In the case of using plywood or chipboard, only water-resistant glued woods are to be used (plywood …

A possibility for replacing the classic pressure transfer rings of wood or wooden materials is the introduction of plastics (e.g. polyethylene, polyurethane, and polyamide). The advantage of plastics is in their elastic behaviour with a very small plastic deformation portion when compared to wood. The disadvantage is the generally much greater lateral strain. The resistance to this lateral strain by the pipe end face can lead to additional tensile …

With jacking with one or more sided simple or multiple curved paths, the pressure transfer rings are loaded by different stresses over their cross section. Because the loading, and thus the plastic deformation at the springing lines of the pipes (with horizontal curves) or at the pipe crown or invert (with vertical jacking) are greater (Bild 14.3.2.3), the pressure transfer rings are rounded by the different loads in the course of the jacking (Bild …
