[0002] Submarine data centers are an important part of "new infrastructure". When constructing them using an underwater corridor structure, it is necessary to solve the problem of connecting the submarine data center with the shore base to enable the access of personnel, vehicles and equipment. At present, there is no construction scheme that can completely solve this problem. At the same time, the project needs to cross sea areas of different depths. The settlement control of various structures under complex geological conditions is a major challenge in the construction of the project, and there is relatively little research on this.
[0003] Starting with the connection between trestle bridges, barrel foundations, and submarine utility tunnels, this paper studies the design and construction methods for data centers, solving the difficult problem of connecting submarine data centers with onshore resources. A design and construction method for data centers connecting trestle bridges and submarine utility tunnels is proposed. This method can effectively address the issue of connecting submarine data centers with onshore infrastructure and has application value for the construction of submarine data centers.

[0035] S42, Construction of the lower foundation of the barrel structure and the submarine utility tunnel;
[0036] S43. Construction of the barrel structure: The barrel structure is transported to the installation position by tugboat using a floating method on water. The ballast well is then filled with water and sunk to the designated position. After the ballast well is sunk to the designated position, the anti-disturbance structure is installed.
[0037] S44. Installation of the submarine utility tunnel in the sea: The installation is carried out by barge sinking method. Two barges are arranged at both ends of the submarine utility tunnel.

[0042] 4) Install waterstops on the submarine pipe gallery using embedded parts, connect the submarine pipe gallery to the prestressed cable anchor plate built into the connecting structure through the waterstops, and tension the prestress to compress the waterstops to a preset amount.
[0043] 5) Install shear keys for the submarine utility tunnel and connecting structure, then install the external protective structure, and use a combination of steel shell and geotextile materials to protect the connection.
[0044] In summary, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0045] This invention's barrel-type structure, through a double-sealing design of prestressed cable anchor plates and waterstops, combined with shear keys and reinforcements, effectively resists water pressure and seismic forces in the marine environment, ensuring the waterproofing and structural rigidity of the connection between the utility tunnel and the trestle. An iterative numerical model is used to analyze the differential settlement between the utility tunnel and the barrel-type structure, achieving settlement equilibrium by adjusting foundation dimensions, avoiding the risk of fracture due to uneven settlement, and realizing dynamic settlement optimization. A three-dimensional geological assessment system, combining horizontal drilling and vertical geological exploration strategies, quantifies geological differences through stratigraphic discontinuity coefficients, guiding the path to avoid high-risk areas and reducing the risk of geological disasters. Layered analysis of the compression modulus of sand, clay, and strongly weathered rock optimizes the utility tunnel path to the optimal bearing layer, reducing foundation treatment costs. The barrel-type structure employs prefabricated installation processes such as floating transport and sinking, and barge hoisting of the utility tunnel, shortening offshore operation time and reducing construction risks. Standard deviation is used to assess soil variability, intelligently selecting either crushed stone replacement or mixing pile schemes, accurately calculating reinforcement volume and pile parameters, and avoiding excessive engineering waste.
[0046] This invention system solves the problems of stability, durability and economy of seabed data centers in complex marine environments through multi-dimensional collaborative innovation of geology, structure and construction, and provides a systematic solution for the construction of deep-sea data infrastructure.
