SFT monitoring and design verification

The Submerged Floating Tunnel (SFT) is still a prototype structure. To change this, SFTs have to be built and we have to learn from this process. This involves comparing the structure’s real behaviour with its design and transferring this knowledge to the engineering community. Monitoring and design verification is a step in this direction. The paper discusses various aspects that need to be monitored, with the objective of design verification.
