CONCRETE PIPE FOR JACKINGThe jacking method of installing concrete pipe is now wellestablished. It has obvious advantages in areas where it isimpossible or undesirable to disturb the overlying surface.Design information and case histories of this method arereadily available.Practical working space limitations require the use of at least900mm diameter pipe. It is preferable to use pipe with noincrease in outside diameter at the bell, in order to reduceproblems with grade alignment.The cross sectional area of all “B-wall” pipe is more thanadequate to resist axial loading due to normal jackingpressures. For unusually high jacking pressures or excessiveunit frictional forces, higher concrete compressive strengthscan be specified, typically up to 41 MPa (6000 psi).Designers should consult with our engineering staff if highercompressive strengths are required.It is extremely important to prevent localized stressconcentrations by maintaining uniform distribution of theaxial load around the circumference of the pipe wall andensuring the ends of the pipe are aligned with the tunnelaxis. It is also important that the pipe being used meets thedimensional tolerances of the specified standards, to ensurethat the ends of the pipe are square to the tunnel axis. Acushioning material should be used at the pipe joints toproperly distribute the jacking force through the jackingframe to the pipe.Further information on concrete pipe for jacking is availablefrom our design staff.REVISED November 13, 20126 SHAW PRECAST SOLUTIONS | CONCRETE PIPE
