Abstract:Recently, submerged floating tunnels have generated a lot of interest due to their unique cross-water traffic benefits. However, the destructive threat of submarine slide hazards was not fully considered in the design scheme of submerged floating tunnels, in particular to the feasibility of applying various cross-section forms on land to submerged floating tunnels under that hazard influence. This study mainly investigates the load effect of submerged floating tunnels with polygonal cross-sections (comprising … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
