In the present study, a numerical procedure for analyzing the seismic response of the linear
elastic half-plane including buried cavities subjected to incident P and SV waves is …

Tunnels are classified as civil engineering infrastructure which serves various functions that
are primarily associated with transportation of vehicles and liquids. Their design and …

More and more projects of underground structures undercrossing adjacent surface
structures have emerged in recent years. The existence of underground structure influences …

A series of 1 g shaking table tests, followed by the numerical simulations, is performed to
investigate the effect of a circular subway tunnel on the ground motion amplification pattern …

A 1 g shaking table test is conducted to investigate seismic responses of a segmental tunnel
in sand under near-fault motions. The tunnel model is assembled with segments, bolts and …

The buildings above metro tunnels have developed rapidly in China in recent years
because it can make comprehensive use of land resources. However, buildings are closer to …

A special indirect boundary element method (IBEM) is presented to study the in-plane
scattering by a lined tunnel embedded in a multi-layered TI saturated half-space. By …

The flexibility ratio (F) is defined as the stiffness of a structure relative to that of soil, a critical
factor affecting the soil–structure interaction. This study aimed to investigate the effect of F on …

A viscous-slip interface model is employed to simulate the contact between the tunnels
lining and the surrounding rock, and the scattering of P, SV waves by twin shallowly buried …

The response of tunnels subjected to ground seismic shaking is commonly evaluated,
disregarding the existence of other structures in the near area. However, significant …
