The Submerged Floating
Tunnel concept was first conceived at the beginning of the century, but no
actual project was undertaken until recently. As the needs of society for
regional growth and the protection of the environment have assumed increased
importance, in this wider context the submerged floating tunnel offers new opportunities. The
submerged floating tunnel is an innovative concept for crossing waterways,
utilizing the law of buoyancy to support the structure at a moderate and
convenient depth .The Submerged floating
Tunnel is a tube like structure made of Steel and Concrete utilizing the law of
buoyancy .It supported on columns or held in place by tethers
attached to the sea floor or by pontoons floating on the surface. The Submerged
floating tunnel utilizes lakes and waterways to carry traffic under water and
on to the other side, where it can be conveniently linked to the rural network
or to the underground infrastructure of modern cities.
