Numerical Analysis of Two Structural Schemes of the HK-Zhuhai-Macau Immersed Tunnel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two structural schemes of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Immersed Tunnel were compared. In Scheme 1, the prestressed reinforcing bars were to be cut off after installation. And in Scheme 2, the prestressed reinforcing bars will be kept there as they were after installation. A finite element model for sections E12~E15 was built by using the finite element software PLAXIS with consideration to the construction process and different loading conditions to analyze both schemes. The calculation results show that they both meet the design requirements.
