Form Finding for a Submerged Floating Tunnel: The Clever Cross-section for Coastal Crossings

Although the concept of a submerged floating tunnel (SFT) originates from the early 1900s, the cross-section is always assumed to be circular or rectangular. In this research, it is investigated whether this assumption is valid. In order to find the optimal cross-section, the optimization process is split into two targets. The first targets aims...
