At each stage, the jacks are required to apply a force of 1875 kN to push the segment. The
jacks will react against the rigid steel plate placed against the reaction arrangement. The
footprint area of reaction arrangement on natural ground are: c = 17 kPa; d = 25° and y = 18
kN/m³. Assuming that the reaction arrangement has rough interface and has the same
