Anthropogenic cavities excavated just beneath the walkable floor (about 1–6 m depth) are
present in many ancient urban centres, particularly in Europe and along the Mediterranean …

In this paper, the effects of two long unsupported parallel tunnels on the seismic response of
the ground surface are studied, using the boundary element method in the time-domain. The …

Better understanding the underground structure scattering on the wave propagation may aid
in the development of more safety earthquake resistant design and disaster prevention …

This study deals with the soil-structure interaction induced by underground tunnels and
surface structures subjected to SV waves using the finite element method (FEM). To this end …

This paper deals with the evaluation of two-dimensional site-effects due to the seismic
interaction between hills with various configurations and underground cavities. The time …

The growing use of underground structures, specifically to facilitate urban transportation,
highlights the need to scrutinize the effects of such spaces on the seismic ground response …

In this paper, the results of a comprehensive numerical parametric study on the seismic
response of the half-plane with subsurface cavity have been presented. For analysis …

Recent studies found that some structural damage can be attributed to the effect of surface
waves. A shallow underground structure may be heavily influenced by surface waves, which …

The scattering of plane harmonic P and SV waves by a pair of vertically overlapping lined
tunnels buried in an elastic half space is solved using a semi-analytic indirect boundary …

Based on the existing research results, a three-dimensional failure mechanism of tunnel
face was constructed. The dynamic seismic effect was taken into account on the basis of …
