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 …

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

This paper investigates the importance of seismic soil–structure interaction in three-
dimensional lined tunnels, assuming inelastic material behaviour for both the concrete liner …

This paper compares the experimental results of a set of centrifuge models of tunnels in
sand under seismic loadings with the predictions of finite element dynamic analyses and of …

This paper assesses the performance of two commonly used absorbing boundaries in
dynamic finite element analysis of geotechnical problems in conjunction with the domain …

The entire Himalayan arc is predicted to produce a series of significant earthquakes and the
subsequent great earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and higher. A substantial amount of rock …

The effects of soil–tunnel structure interaction are proved to be quite significant, particularly
under earthquake excitation. The influence of earthquakes on a tunnel–ground interaction …

The increments of internal forces induced in a tunnel lining during earthquakes can be
assessed with several procedures at different levels of complexity. However, the substantial …

Tunnels are the most important infrastructure components as it plays a major role in public
infrastructure, water transport and the production of hydroelectric power. The constant …

Tunneling is increasingly being seen as an environmentally preferable means of providing
infrastructure to densely populated urban areas as well as for long transportation …
