THE RESPONSE OF SUBMERGED TUNNELS TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT

For two decades submerged tunnels have been proposed as alternative solutions for permanent road and rail crossings of straits where water depth, navigation or the marine environment preclude classic or floating bridge structures. A formulation for their dynamic response analysis under seismic and sea wave effects is presented and examples of the behaviour of different tunnel types are given and discussed.(a)
