In order to ensure that the overall prefabricated underwater push-out final joint can control the safety risk during construction process under offshore conditions,and to meet the design requirements of centimeter-level installation and docking accuracy,this paper explores the issue of the closure width in the final joint construction of steel shell immersed tunnels.By analyzing the actual construction parameters of the installed pipes and the specific weather window conditions,this paper focuses on the entry method of the pipe into the closure,the longitudinal positioning ability of the pipe,and the cumulative length errors of the tunnel prefabrication and installation.The results show that controlling the closure width of the final joint at 2.2 m is beneficial for providing space for post-welding operations,enhancing ventilation effects,satisfying large-scale welding operation conditions,facilitating the deployment of large-scale equipment,and improving work efficiency.Meanwhile,it provides an effective space for sinking and docking operations in the construction of immersed pipes,reducing operational risks.This study is of great significance to provide useful references for the final joint construction of steel shell immersed pipes.
