In this article, we study the seismic response of a shallow metro tunnel in a subduction zone
environment and the use of a performance-based approach to develop seismic demand …

Current methods of analysis for the seismic response of tunnels rely on linear elastic soil
constitutive behaviour. This has obvious benefits in terms of minimising the number of soil …

A tunnel is an underground horizontal passage that is constructed to provide services such
as transportation, storage places, water, wastewater lines, and the like. Since the tunneling …

In this paper a numerical approach is proposed for the construction of fragility curves for
shallow metro tunnels in alluvial deposits, when subjected to transversal seismic loading …

This study aims to identify optimal intensity measures (IMs) for use in probabilistic seismic
demand models (PSDMs) for circular tunnels in soft soil deposits. To this end, we performed …

abstract It is necessary to pay particular attention to the uncertainties that exist in an
engineering problem to reduce the risk of seismic damage of infrastructures against natural …

Geotechnical and structural analysis techniques evolved concurrently, from earth-load
theory to stateof the art computer simulation of construction procedures and calibration of …

The paper presents the ground seismic response, for the specification of the strong ground
motion design parameters along the lining axis of Thessaloniki's subway. Experimental and …

This paper aims at the vulnerability assessment of circular tunnels in soft soil deposits of the
metropolitan subway system of Shanghai, accounting for the effects of soil-structure …

Underground utility tunnels are widely used in urban areas throughout the world for lifeline
networks due to their easy maintenance and environmental protection capabilities …
