Underwater Railway Systems

The book examines the design and construction of submerged floating tunnels (SFTs), the advanced materials required to withstand immense water pressure, and the potential socio-economic impacts on global trade and tourism. It presents a balanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities of underwater rail systems using engineering simulations, material testing data, and economic feasibility studies. Case studies of proposed routes, such as transatlantic crossings and Scandinavian linkages, illustrate the potential benefits and complex challenges.

Structured in three parts, the book progresses from fundamental design concepts to materials science, engineering, and economic feasibility. It offers a comprehensive overview of the topic, making it valuable to engineers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the future of transportation technology and infrastructure development.
