The crossing construction under railroad have two methods which are cut and cover and trenchless method. first, cut and cover method is an extremely limited method concerning non-running time. Whereas, trenchless method is free from restriction such as train speed and running time, and has the strong points of safe and rapid construction. Front Jacking method, one of the trenchless methods, is frequently applied recently due to its stability during construction and vantage of assuring schedule reliability. The procedure is that after minimizing interlocking friction with structure and earth pressure due to jacking the small steel tube, pulling the precast box manufactured at the field in the ground using PC strand and hydraulic Jack. This method is able to be applied regardless of section size and length of box and condition of ground. And that is also pro-environmental. This paper presents the case of Daejeon E. W. perforate Road Project applied with the Front Jacking method.

Shindorim Station is the most important transfer station which is crossed Seoul Metro Line-2 and national rail traffic Kyungbu, Honam and Kyungin Line etc.. There is the lagest transfer passengers and the greatest rail traffic. Therefore to solve the congeted station problem, Shindorim station extension project has been planned. This project has very difficult many problems. One of them is undercrossing the national rail traffic ground without open-cut excavation. There are many undercrossing construction methods in our country. But this project is required the best safety. So the best applicable methods are investigated, which are Front-Jacking, NTR and TRcM. In Design stage Front-Jacking with PRS method which is gound reinforcing is applied.

This study is to confirm the effect of pre-installed pipe-roof by measuring earth pressure acting on the underpass. In recently developed trenchless methods pre-inserted steel pipes before ground excavation to form pipe-roof are connected each other with re-bars and filled with mortar. In this study, focusing on the Upgraded Pipe Roof Structure method (UPRS) and Front-Jacking, earth pressure around pipe-roof is measured after insertion of steel pipe to ensure the effect of earth pressure reduction. In case of the UPRS earth pressure is considerably reduced because of the reinforced effect of pipe-roof. In case of the Front-Jacking in which the whole underpass structure is pushed into the ground, earth pressure is not reduced as expected, because the pre-installed pipes are not needed to be reinforced.

When a testing body is being inserted to the ground by Front Jacking Method, the influence of friction forces around the body plays important role in the characteristics of whole ground behavior. In the study, the Front Jacking Method that most frequently used in Korea who applied with experimental way. And the characteristics of ground behavior that caused by the friction that acts to the upper slab was analysed for the basic data that can be utilized for real scale experiment.

We analysed the affection to subgrade that railway underground crossing construction make with studying displacement of subgrade of each construction methods and processing of Front jacking method and Pipe roof method with already-measured data(during the construction) and additionally-measured field test data in railway underground crossing construction. We measured vertical and horizontal displacement at two construction places of front jacking method and pipe roof method each, and we analysed the results of the measurement at each stage of construction to applied to the excution of construction.

This document presents the JES(Joint Element Structure) method that has been adopted for the firs time in our country for the construction of the structure crossing under the railroad without open excavation. Front Jacking Method, Tubular Roof Construction Method, New Tubular Roof Method and Joint Element Structure Method are commonly used for the construction of structures crossing under the railroad. JES Method, frequently used in Japan recently, is a new method to construct the structures crossing under the railroad in a safe manner and in a relatively short period of time by utilizing the steel elements with the joints through which the load in the vertical angle to the axial direction is transferred to the next element. The elements are tied to each other through the joints to form the permanent walls of a Rahmen structure under the road without open excavation and without limitation to the length in a convenient way. Through the case study in the project of a Subway Box Culvert Improvement for the Gyeonguiseon Railroad in front of Yonsei University using the JES Method, the cost and period of construction in various types of soil is investigated compared to the Front Jacking Method. Furthermore, by analyzing the results of instrumentation measurements carried out throughout the construction, comparison between the actual displacement in the ground and the predicted displacement in the design is made to provide the considerations to be counted for the design. In conclusion, comparison in the field of economic feasibility, constructability and safety between the JES Method and Front Jacking Method, which is most frequently adopted in our country at present, is made to present the JES Method as a new alternative for the non-open excavation construction method for the structures crossing under the railway.

Recently, the crossing tunnel has been constructed frequently to connect the separated area by highway and railroad. The construction of crossing tunnel must be progressed while maintaining the existing traffic of the highway as well as railroad. There are many cross funnelling methods such as NTR, TRCM, Messer Shield, Front Jacking, and Pipe Roof Method. The advantages of adopting RPS(Roof Panel Shield) method in crossing tunnel construction with comparing other existing cross funnelling methods are needed a little volume of concrete and easy to change the direction of cutting shoe during the construction of pipe roof, The 3-dimensional numerical analysis of RPS to consider the arching effect was performed for the application in the crossing tunnel under railroad. The earth pressure distribution and settlement were predicted when the RPS method was applied during the excavation for crossing railroad tunnel construction.
