While many long and curved tunnels by jacking method are constructed in recent years, there are few examples that measured behavior of Hume pipes. Calculation of driving forth by jacking method is not established completely, because it is complicated by various soil and execution methods. Therefore designers cannot help judging by experience expressions from past results. This report describes that we measured stress and examined behavior of Hume pipes for the purpose of collecting data to establish reasonable design technique about jacking method.
