Calculating microtunneling jacking forces
Microtunneling jacking forces calculations are the most important for the in technology. Proper estimation is essential due to the safety aspects, the risk of complications and the financial aspects of the whole undertaking. During the presentation some examples will be discussed, based on the several methods and studies that were conducted for specific geotechnical and hydrogeological conditions. The results will be discussed in reference with their accuracy and suitability for practical use.
