Immersed tunnels have been around for more than a century but remain a relatively unknown form of tunnel construction. For waterway crossings they are an effective alternative to bored tunnels and bridges, particularly in shallower waters, soft alluvial soils, and earthquake-prone areas. Successful implementation requires a thorough understanding of a wide variety of civil engineering disciplines and construction techniques. Immersed Tunnels brings together in one volume all aspects of immersed tunnels from initial feasibility and planning, through design and construction, to operation and mai.
Introduction -- Development of the immersed tunnel -- Current forms of immersed tunnel -- Developing an immersed tunnel scheme -- Environmental impact -- Marine environment -- Mechanical and electrical installations -- Approaches and service buildings -- Design principles -- Joints -- Durability -- Foundations -- Earthworks -- Construction of tunnel elements -- Finishing works -- Operation and maintenance -- Forms of contract -- The future for immersed tunnels -- Glossary of terms.
