ABSTRACT

The anchor foundation of submerged floating tunnel has great influence on the safety and stability of the submerged floating tunnel. At present, there are few researches on the quantitative analysis method of anchor foundation of submerged floating tunnel. In this paper, a method of numerical simulation using ABAQUS finite element analysis software is put forward for the bucket anchor foundation of sub-merged floating tunnel. This method can conveniently and quantitatively analyze the uplift capacity of bucket anchor foundation of submerged floating tunnels in complicated geological and topographical conditions. Moreover, we compared the experimental data of entity model with the numerical simulation results to verify the feasibility of the finite element numerical simulation method.
