Abstract

This paper assesses tension mooring systems for supporting a submerged floating tunnel. The structural characteristics of this system are clarified analytically, paying attention to the three primary problems (mooring line arrangement, developed stress, and nonlinearity) in designing mooring lines for submerged floating tunnels.
