Study on Reliability of Submerged Floating Tunnel with Single Span under Vortex-Induced Vibration

Abstract:

The probability distribution of buoyancy amplitude of vortex-induced vibration for a submerged floating tunnel with single span under steady flow is studied by means of Monte-Calor method in this paper. The probability response of bending moment and displacement in the central span of submersed floating tunnel, including shear response at its buttress are also analyzed. Meanwhile, the reliability of a submerged floating tunnel with single span is also calculated in terms of the structural limit state equation under vortex-induced vibration.
