Pipe roof method is an effective way for urban underpassing scheme. Due to the successive jacking of multiple pipes, the characteristics of ground response are distinctly different from single pipe or twin pipes. In this paper, the gradual ground loss by successive pipe-jacking and the causes of settlement are analyzed. The conclusions drawn from this paper show that: (1) The maximum incremental was right above the pipe axis which could be controlled within 1mm. (2) The shield effect of the former pipe on the latter one resulted in a 50% reduction of maximum incremental settlement. (3) The distribution of cumulative settlement curve was reflected by superimposed effect of staged ground settlements. (4) The results of settlement monitoring illustrated that the field measured settlements were basically tally with those of the simulated values, the goodness of fit was more than 85%.
