Abstract

The Submerged Floating Tunnel (SFT), also called an Archimedes Bridge, is a state of the art solution for crossing deep and large waters. The concept of a SFT has been around for many decades. However, none has still been build up till today. A general literature study showed a number of ‘blank spots’ which still need to be researched before building the first ever “test” SFT. This Thesis discusses the shore connection of the flexible SFT to the fixed land tunnel and several parameters which influence the design of the End Joint.
