| Abstract: | ▪ The aim of the study is to evaluate the structural robustness of the prototype of the
submerged tunnel proposed within the Sino-Italian joint laboratory of Archimedes
Bridge (SIJLAB), when it is subjected to unexpected events like internal explosions
(Fig. 1) or impact with external boats. ▪ Robustness is here defined as the ability of a structure to withstand an exceptional event like an explosion or impact, without incurring into damages to an extent disproportionate to the original cause. |
