Existing studies on earthquake damage have shown that the center column of a shallow-
covered underground structure is more prone to be damaged by a strong earthquake than …

Understanding the soft soil layer-tunnel seismic interaction in the multi-layered ground is an
important issue for a safe seismic design. However, this issue remains unclear since most of …

In this study, shaking table tests were performed to investigate the dynamic interaction of a
silty-clay soil with an irregular-section subway station. During the tests, a shape acceleration …

Nonlinear time‐history analysis can be used to determine the liquefiable behaviors of the
tunnel–sand–pile interaction (TSPI) model with the consideration of sand anisotropy. This …

The presence of a soft soil layer can influence the propagation of incoming wave from the
bedrock, undoubtedly modifying the ground motions and soil dynamic behavior. Despite its …

This paper evaluates the effect of local site conditions on the seismic hazard of the relocated
new Balakot town as a result of the complete destruction of old Balakot city due to the 2005 …

This paper takes an actual station of Nanjing Metro Line 2 as the research object and
establishes the corresponding 2D and 3D overall time-domain nonlinear finite element …

This research proposes the analytical formulations for the vertically aligned twin tunnels
under the sinusoidal form of seismic excitation in the case of the damped free vibration. The …

Seismic fragility assessment is the probability of damage exceeding a certain design limit.
The dynamic performance of a combined multiple tunnel complex is less explored and …

Traffic congestion and environmental factors in urban areas have increased the use of
underground structures such as tunnels. The protection of these tunnels is therefore crucial …
