How are bridges and tunnels constructed underwater? The construction techniques are explained by a geotechnical engineer.
Before delving into construction techniques, it’s important to grasp the unique challenges posed by underwater construction: Hydrostatic Pressure: The pressure exerted by water increases with depth, which can affect construction materials and techniques. Soil and Rock Conditions: The underwater environment introduces a variety of soil and rock conditions, including sediment, clay, and bedrock, which impact … Read more
