  • Abstract
    This study developed cost functions, which were expressed as functions of pipe sizes and excavation depths, applicable to open cut and jacking techniques for construction of sewer systems. Data for several real sewer system construction projects in Taiwan were investigated to verify the accuracy of the cost functions. The cost functions developed in this study are more realistic, practical, accurate and easy to use than existing functions.
