Rapid Stabilization of the Immersed Tunnel Element
Stability of a tube element for the Naha Immersed Tunnel is experimentally and numerically investigated under various wave conditions. The construction site of the tunnel is located in Okinawa Island that suffered from frequent raids of typhoon. It is found through the investigation that weight control is not enough to stabilize the element during construction stage, and that backfilling on the sidewall of the element is inevitable. A rapid emplacement method is developed to construct the tunnel safely. No. 1 element was successfully placed with this method.
