摘要
Effects of environment conditions, such as current, wave etc., are more important for immersed tube tunnel's transportation and immersing. The hydrodynamics and stability of immersed tube tunnel during its towing and immersing are interested for departments of design and construction. A serial model tests are made in towing tank and water channel for Nanjing immersed tube tunnel, and the first immersed tunnel has been designed in Yangtzi River in China. The hydrodynamic forces and rope tensions of the tunnel are measured with strain balances when it is towed by ship and immersed by winches for a different current velocity and wave height. In addition, the stability of tunnel for a different ballast water is tested and discussed.
