Abstract The 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake (Mw 7.6) caused damage to 49 tunnels
within 60 km of the epicenter, including the collapse of three mountain tunnels, ending the …

Severe cases of damages of mountain tunnels following 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu (Japan),
1999 Chi-Chi (Taiwan), 2004 Mid-Niigata Prefecture (Japan) and 2008 Wenchuan (China) …

The paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the current understanding of the seismic
behaviour of tunnels. Emphasis is placed on recorded responses of actual tunnels during …

Abstract The Kumamoto Earthquake with magnitude of 7.3 (Mj) on April 16 and 6.5 (Mj) on
April 14, 2016 have triggered numerous damages to the Tawarayama Tunnel in Kumamoto …

The high uncertainties involved in the design and construction of mountain tunnels have
driven the development of risk analysis procedures to control the risk level within an …

Tunnel portals, particularly within seismic-prone areas, are highly susceptible to seismic
damage, highlighting the crucial need for seismic fortification at portal slopes. To explore the …

The zones where tunnels through the active faults are proved to be seriously damaged
because of the fault dislocation which could be due to strong earthquakes. A steel reinforced …

This study develops fragility curves for rectangular cut-and-cover tunnels from nonlinear
frame analyses. Fragility curves are generated for single, double, and triple boxes …

The faults play an important role in inducing tremendous potential threat to the stability
capability of embedded tunnels in strong earthquake events. Based on the finite element …

This paper presents an intelligent methodology for monitoring and assessing the interfacial
debonding damage process of concrete-rock composites through the piezoelectric-based …
