Abstract;The purpose of this study is to evaluate the wave response characteristic of Submerged Floating Tunnel (S.F.T.) modeled as a beam on elastic foundation. We have investigated the applicability of the modeling of a beam on elastic foundation from the viewpoint of structural mechanics. The beam model on elastic foundation for the dynamic analysis is the simple one, but it is very effective for designers to assume structural dimensions and evaluate the basic characteristics quickly. To express the wave force acting on the tunnel, Modified Morison's equation is applied. The analytical solution of the model is obtained and dynamic characteristic of global behavior can be considered theoretically. (author abst.)
