Definitions
- the present invention relates to a submerged floating tunnel, in particular to a submerged cable-stayed floating tunnel structure.
- Submerged Floating Tunnel is abbreviated as “SFT” in English. It is also called “Archimedes Bridge”, or “PDA” bridge for short in Italy. Generally, it is composed of a tubular body floating in the water at a certain depth (the tubular body has a large space enough to meet the requirements of road and railway traffic), a support system (anchor cables anchored on the seabed, piers or buoyancy tanks on the water), and structures on both shores. It is a novel structure for means of transportation to cross both shores separated by deep water, is suitable for all means of transportation that need to travel through the water, can be passed by trains, cars, small motor vehicles and pedestrians, and can also be made into service channels through which various pipes and cables pass.
- the floating tunnel structure is surrounded by water, is neither on the ground nor crossing the ground, but mainly depends on the gravity of its own structure, the buoyancy of the structure and the anchoring force of the support system to retain at a fixed position.
- the floating tunnel is sealed all around. This structure has all the characteristics of an ordinary tunnel. From the perspective of use, it should be regarded as a "tunnel" rather than a "bridge".
- the floating tunnel can traverse different waters, such as rivers, fjords, straits and lakes etc., and provides a possible and acceptable form of fixed spanning structures for the places that are considered uncrossable due to deep water or long distance between both shores.
- the floating tunnel is built at a certain depth underwater. Compared with the open water channel and ferry transportation, bad weathers such as wind, waves, fog, rain and snow etc. will not affect all-weather operation of the floating tunnel. Under the premise of ensuring the same navigable capacity, the floating tunnel has a smoother slope and a shorter total length than a bridge. The construction and use of the floating tunnel will not affect the environment and natural landscape. When a certain span and water depth is exceeded, the unit cost of the floating tunnel will not increase significantly with the increase of span length or channel depth, while the unit costs of cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges increase significantly with the increase of span.
- the floating tunnel has certain advantages compared with sea-crossing channel schemes of immersed tube tunnels, deep-buried tunnels, bridges and the like, the design and construction of the floating tunnel are still worldwide problems. So far, no floating tunnel has been built. At present, the floating tunnel is mainly researched in 7 countries (Norway, Italy, Japan, China, Switzerland, Brazil, and the United States) in the world. Many technical problems found in the research are: overall structural layout, tunnel materials, structural types of anchor systems, tunnel connection types, design of shore connecting structures, implementability of tunnel structures, construction and operation risks, etc. Whether these problems can be solved determines whether the floating tunnel can move from a feasible scheme to an actual project.
- the proposed structural types may be roughly divided into three types: pontoon type, anchored type, and pier type.
- the pontoon type floating tunnel is suspended on a pontoon on the water through anchor cables or chains, and the gravity of the tunnel is greater than the buoyancy, so the tunnel is greatly affected by fluctuation of the tide rise and fall in the vertical direction;
- the anchored type floating tunnel is anchored to an anchorage foundation under the seabed through tension legs or anchor cables, and the gravity of the tunnel is smaller than the buoyancy, so the tunnel will be displaced or wobbled under the action of hydrodynamic force;
- the pier type floating tunnel is actually a tunnel bridge supported on submerged piers, and therefore, is difficult and expensive to construct.
- tunnel floats in the water
- installation and construction of the tunnel are affected by wind, waves, currents, traveling waves etc.
- the three types of tunnels are very difficult in underwater localization and underwater or on-water closure, and their comfort and safety risks during underwater operation are difficult to predict.

- Document CN 107 700 543 A discloses a system for connecting joints in a submerged tunnel construction.

Description
- The present invention relates to a submerged floating tunnel, in particular to a submerged cable-stayed floating tunnel structure.
- "Submerged Floating Tunnel" is abbreviated as "SFT" in English. It is also called "Archimedes Bridge", or "PDA" bridge for short in Italy. Generally, it is composed of a tubular body floating in the water at a certain depth (the tubular body has a large space enough to meet the requirements of road and railway traffic), a support system (anchor cables anchored on the seabed, piers or buoyancy tanks on the water), and structures on both shores. It is a novel structure for means of transportation to cross both shores separated by deep water, is suitable for all means of transportation that need to travel through the water, can be passed by trains, cars, small motor vehicles and pedestrians, and can also be made into service channels through which various pipes and cables pass. The difference between the submerged floating tunnel and the traditional submerged tunnel or tunneling tunnel is: the floating tunnel structure is surrounded by water, is neither on the ground nor crossing the ground, but mainly depends on the gravity of its own structure, the buoyancy of the structure and the anchoring force of the support system to retain at a fixed position. The floating tunnel is sealed all around. This structure has all the characteristics of an ordinary tunnel. From the perspective of use, it should be regarded as a "tunnel" rather than a "bridge".
- The floating tunnel can traverse different waters, such as rivers, fjords, straits and lakes etc., and provides a possible and acceptable form of fixed spanning structures for the places that are considered uncrossable due to deep water or long distance between both shores. The floating tunnel is built at a certain depth underwater. Compared with the open water channel and ferry transportation, bad weathers such as wind, waves, fog, rain and snow etc. will not affect all-weather operation of the floating tunnel. Under the premise of ensuring the same navigable capacity, the floating tunnel has a smoother slope and a shorter total length than a bridge. The construction and use of the floating tunnel will not affect the environment and natural landscape. When a certain span and water depth is exceeded, the unit cost of the floating tunnel will not increase significantly with the increase of span length or channel depth, while the unit costs of cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges increase significantly with the increase of span.
- Although the floating tunnel has certain advantages compared with sea-crossing channel schemes of immersed tube tunnels, deep-buried tunnels, bridges and the like, the design and construction of the floating tunnel are still worldwide problems. So far, no floating tunnel has been built. At present, the floating tunnel is mainly researched in 7 countries (Norway, Italy, Japan, China, Switzerland, Brazil, and the United States) in the world. Many technical problems found in the research are: overall structural layout, tunnel materials, structural types of anchor systems, tunnel connection types, design of shore connecting structures, implementability of tunnel structures, construction and operation risks, etc. Whether these problems can be solved determines whether the floating tunnel can move from a feasible scheme to an actual project.
- So far, in the research of floating tunnels, according to the relationship between the gravity of the floating tunnels and the buoyancy, the proposed structural types may be roughly divided into three types: pontoon type, anchored type, and pier type. The pontoon type floating tunnel is suspended on a pontoon on the water through anchor cables or chains, and the gravity of the tunnel is greater than the buoyancy, so the tunnel is greatly affected by fluctuation of the tide rise and fall in the vertical direction; the anchored type floating tunnel is anchored to an anchorage foundation under the seabed through tension legs or anchor cables, and the gravity of the tunnel is smaller than the buoyancy, so the tunnel will be displaced or wobbled under the action of hydrodynamic force; and the pier type floating tunnel is actually a tunnel bridge supported on submerged piers, and therefore, is difficult and expensive to construct. Because the tunnel floats in the water, the installation and construction of the tunnel are affected by wind, waves, currents, traveling waves etc. The three types of tunnels are very difficult in underwater localization and underwater or on-water closure, and their comfort and safety risks during underwater operation are difficult to predict.

- The cable-stayed floating tunnel structure of the embodiment of the present invention adopts a linear arrangement in both the plane direction and the longitudinal direction, includes a submerged floating tunnel, a shore connecting structure, stay cables, cable anchor piers, etc. The submerged floating tunnel is usually buried deep, and is connected to a ground road through a land slope tunnel.
- The shore connecting structure of the embodiment of the present invention is located on a stable foundation near the shore slope, and achieves the functions of connection and switching between the submerged floating tunnel and the land slope tunnel. In order to ensure the stability of the shore connecting structure and the shore slope, the original submerged slope on the waterfront side of the shore connecting structure needs to be protected and reinforced. The submerged floating tunnel is connected with the tunnel pipe part in the shore connecting structure in the form of rigid connection. Because the submerged floating tunnel is buried deep, the shore connecting structure is also required to be deep. The lower part of the shore connecting structure is used to arrange the tunnel structure and tunnel auxiliary facilities, and the upper part of the shore connecting structure can be used for other purposes such as a parking lot.
- Taking into consideration of the safety risks during the operation period of the tunnel, when the trench flow is a two-way flow (tide rises and falls), and the flow velocity is very small, a two-way single cable plane tunnel is used; when the trench flow is a two-way flow (tide rises and falls), and the flow velocity is relatively large, a two-way double cable plane tunnel is used.
- There are three main construction technologies for the submerged floating tunnel of the embodiment of the present invention: a section-by-section submerged splicing method, a water integral splicing method and a submerged pushing method. The technology is selected by the analysis of the influence of meteorological and hydrological conditions in the sea at the tunnel site on the construction, and the analysis of the technological difficulties, etc.
- Section-by-section submerged splicing method: prefabricated pipe parts are floated to mounting points one by one, submerged, connected and fastened underwater one by one. Water integral splicing method: prefabricated pipe parts are floated to temporary dock sides on the shores near the tunnel site one by one, connected and fastened in groups, then the connected groups are shifted and connected into a whole, and the whole pipe parts are turned, dragged to the water surface above the tunnel, submerged as a whole, and connected to the shores. Submerged pushing method: prefabricated pipe parts are pushed from the pushing side shore connecting structure into the receiving side shore connecting structure one by one. The first two methods are greatly affected by the meteorological and hydrological conditions in the sea at the tunnel site, and require suitable construction window periods, so the effective operation time is short, and the connection is extremely difficult; and the pushing method is nearly not affected by the meteorological and hydrological conditions, achieves connection by dry construction, but is very difficult in thrusting and water stop. After comprehensive consideration, the pushing technology is recommended.
- The length of each pipe part depends on the used construction technology of the submerged floating tunnel, the lifting capacity of pipe part mounting equipment and dynamic positioning capability thereof, site conditions, engineering costs, etc. For the section-by-section submerged splicing method and the water integral splicing method, the length of each pipe part is preferably 120m to 180m; and for the submerged pushing method, the length of each pipe part ispreferably60 to 100 m.
- The submerged cable-stayed floating tunnel structure of the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for any water area with a seismic intensity of not more than a magnitude of 7 and a stable shore slope, and is particularly suitable for a water area where the flow velocity is small. Smaller the flow velocity is, more stable more comfortable and safer the tunnel is, during the operation. For the water areas having depths of more than 60m and widths of more than 1500m, it is more suitable than bridges and immersed tube tunnels. For shore slopes in soft soil geological layers or new artificial islands, the foundation must be reinforced to ensure the stability of the slope. For areas with seismic intensities of more than a magnitude of7, safety and human psychology should be considered for careful use of the cable-stayed floating tunnel structure of the embodiment of the present invention. The cable-stayed floating tunnel structure of the embodiment of the present invention is not suitable for areas with ground fissures, seismic zones, and geological plate junction areas. Due to the limitation of the stay cable angle, the water span of the cable-stayed floating tunnel structure of the embodiment of the present invention should not be more than 4 km.
