IKT-Symposium on Pipe Jacking Simulation 2007

At IKT - Institute for Underground Infrastructure, Gelsenkirchen/Germany, a unique pipe jacking simulator has been build, with support of the Ministry of the Environment and Conservation, Agriculture and Consumer Protection of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (MUNLV).

This facility allows 1:1 scale tests of DN 1600 pipes, on a total pipeline length of 15 meters with simulated length of up to 80 meters.

IKT-Pipe Jacking Simulator ND 1600
A pipeline of five consecutive concrete pipes can be surcharged with jacking forces of up to 8 MN. The facility allows for simulation of different jacking lines like curves or steering movements. We use 8 horizontal hydraulic jacks for lateral movements, 4x2MN jacks for driving pressure, and about 40 pressure pads for bedding conditions. By this, e.g. different materials for pressure transmission can be tested under identical and realistic conditions and current structural models for pipe jacking and loading conditions may be verified (or falsified).

Search / advanced search of the idw archives
Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
