Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a submerged floating tunnel, in particular to a
submerged cable-stayed floating tunnel structure.
Background of the Invention
[0002] "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".
[0003] 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.
[0004] 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.
[0005] 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 onwater
closure, and their comfort and safety risks during underwater operation are difficult
to predict.

floating tunnel is installed, and the land control makes the actual operation very
convenient and provides a convenient limit device and method for the installation
of the submerged floating tunnel.
- 7) The stay cable of the present invention can be used for monitoring of cable force
and maintenance and replacement of the cable during the operation period of the tunnel,
while the anchor system of the anchored type floating tunnel is underwater, which
makes the maintenance and replacement extremely difficult.
- 8) The stay cable of the present invention provides an upward force to the submerged
floating tunnel, so that the submerged floating tunnel never sinks, which greatly
reduces the safety risk during the operation period of the tunnel.

caused by water flow and waves, and generally selected according to the flow rate
of the water flow for intuitiveness and convenience. Smaller the flow rate of the
water flow is, larger the buoyancy-to-weight ratio is. The buoyancy-to-weight ratio
adjustment device is arranged in each pipe part of the submerged floating tunnel to
control the actual buoyancy-to-weight ratio of the tunnel so as to meet the requirements
of stability during the construction period and comfort during the operation period.

escape exits arranged and rescue submarines 64at the top of the tunnel; one of a plurality
of spare emergency exits is arranged every 1 km on the top wall of the tunnel along
the length of the tunnel, and an emergency hatch door 63 is arranged on each spare
emergency escape exit; the rescue submarine 64 is docked at the top of the emergency
hatch door 63, the bottom of the rescue submarine 64 is provided with a spare emergency
hatch connected with the emergency hatch door 63, and when the spare emergency hatch
is opened, a person enters the rescue submarine 64 through the ladder 65 lowered down
from the spare emergency hatch.
[0077] The escape system of the present invention makes the best use of the structural layout
and equipment arrangement of the pavement structure, the contact passage, the tunnel
upper layer structure and the buoyancy-to-weight ratio adjustment system of the floating
tunnel, to achieve reasonable utilization of resources, so that the rationality of
design of the tunnel structure is increased; for the double-pipe tunnel, the contact
passage is also used as an escape passage; the escape system also makes the best use
of the buoyancy-to-weight ratio adjustment system, so that general leakage of the
tunnel can be effectively handled without personnel evacuation; and the evacuation
time is also greatly increased in the case that the tunnel is seriously destroyed
and personnel evacuation is required.
[0078] The cable-stayed floating tunnel structure 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.
[0079] The shore connecting structure 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.
[0080] 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.
[0081] There are three main construction technologies for the submerged floating tunnel
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.
[0082] 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.
[0083] 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 to100 m.
[0084] The submerged cable-stayed floating tunnel structure 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 present invention. The cable-stayed floating tunnel structure 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 present invention should not
be more than 4 km.
