Safety Study on Connection Joint for Submerged Floating Tunnel

Abstract:

On the basis of working surroundings of submersed floating tunnel(SFT), a new type of connexion joint is designed to link its tubes, and its mechanical behavior and safety under water condition are also analyzed by means of finite element method(FEM). The analysis shows that the connection joint proposed in this paper satisfies the requirement of safety under water environment and will be a new option for future use of submersed floating tunnel.
