Experimental Investigation of the Dynamic Behavior of Submerged Floating Tunnels under Regular Wave Conditions
Submerged floating tunnels (SFTs) are an innovative traffic structure for transportation in deep and long-distance ocean environments. SFTs have the risk of being subjected to wave action in the complex ocean environment. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and stability of SFTs during their se...

| description | Submerged floating tunnels (SFTs) are an innovative traffic structure for transportation in deep and long-distance ocean environments. SFTs have the risk of being subjected to wave action in the complex ocean environment. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and stability of SFTs during their service, the dynamic behavior of an SFT subjected to the action of waves is experimentally investigated in this study. Based on the wave–current flume, a physical scale-model experiment of an SFT for studying the dynamic behavior of an SFT subjected to regular waves interactions is deeply and thoroughly explored. The results show that the wave outputs from the wave-making system are verified to be reliable. The influence of major load parameters on the dynamic behavior of the SFT are deeply and thoroughly explored. The effects of wave height and wave period on acceleration, wave pressure, anchor cable force and displacement in an SFT are discussed. This experimental study has theoretical and practical significant for SFT design and safety. |
