    The document discusses submerged floating tunnels (SFT), a new concept for tunnels that float underwater supported by buoyancy at a depth of 20-50m. An SFT utilizes waterways to carry traffic under water between land masses. It discusses the structural components of an SFT tube and challenges such as transporting tunnel segments, anchoring, preventing collisions, and providing escape doors. Benefits of SFTs include maintaining landscape beauty, reducing energy use and pollution, and providing communities with improved transportation options.

    CHALLENGES TO BE FACED IN
    SFT

    Tunnels in water are by no means new in civil engineering. But


    tunnel is a totally new concept and never used before even for
    very small lengths. It is a tunnel that floats in water supported
    by its buoyancy. It is generally placed at a depth of 20-50m
    from the water level. 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.

    The submerged floating tunnel will set up new trends in


    transportation engineering and which shows with the
    advances in technology that will reduce the time required for
    travelling. And make the transportation more effective by
    hiding the traffic under water by which the beauty of
    landscape is maintained and valuable land is available for
    other purposes. Benefits can be obtained with respect to less
    energy consumption, air pollution and reduced noise
    . emission. For wide and deep crossings the submerged
    floating tunnel may be the only feasible fix link, replacing
    present day ferries and providing local communities with new
    opportunities for improved communication and regional
    development.
