Abstract: A sophisticated and flexible testing system that can simulate both external water-soil pressures and inner water pressure was designed, based on which both single-ring and three-ring full-scale loading tests were conducted, and some interesting observations were made: increasing inner water head decreased the axial force, which thereby increased the lining deformation; the bending moment...
Abstract: Having completed immersed tunnel works of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in 2018, CCCC Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Island-Tunnel Project established a joint research team on submerged floating tunnel (SFT). We proposed and designed a basin test (1:50) of tethered type SFT with prototype length of 1.2 km. After rounds of discussions on test significance, technical feasibility and details, the 1st...
