The jacking force in the construction process of rectangular pipe jacking tunnels is characterized by its intermittent, discontinuous, and unstable nature. This force not only determines the speed of tunneling but also controls the rate at which soil stress is released, leading to deformation of the formation and land subsidence, thereby impacting the surrounding environment. To accurately calculate and predict the jacking force of rectangular pipe jacking tunnels, this study conducts a comprehensive investigation and analysis of relevant literature on the calculation methods employed both dom...
