Two precast subaqueous tunnels -- Elizabeth River and Baytown tunnels compared
Baytown tunnel, Tex, 4040 ft long, is reinforced concrete tube inside steel cylinder with radius of 17 ft 5 in.; Elizabeth River Tunnel, Va, 4050 ft long, was also constructed inside steel tube, radius 15 ft 8 in. but was provided with exterior steel box of octagonal section; at Bayton, all trenches could be excavated without sheeting; at Elizabeth River, congested areas required sheeting of trenching; sinking precast sections.
