The seismic failure mechanism of underground structures presents that the insufficient
lateral deformation capacity of central columns will result in the collapse of the overall …

In this study, the dynamic interaction between a surficial alluvial valley and an underground
tunnel embedded in it under plane shear horizontal (SH) waves is investigated. Within the …

During the construction of the utility tunnel, it is inevitable to cross a horizontal
nonhomogeneous site, which adversely affects the seismic resistance of the utility tunnel …

In recent earthquakes, tunnels in earthquake-prone zones have suffered significant damage.
The cracks in these tunnels contain a mix of transverse, longitudinal and inclined cracks …

The structures on the coral islands are at risk of earthquakes. To study the particular seismic
response of coral sand, the numerical model of the coral sand-pile-superstructure system …

Buoyancy is one of the most serious manifestations of underground structure's instability
during strong ground motions. Soil liquefaction along with significant reduction of its shear …

Owing to the complementary functions of aboveground and underground structures, the
complex structure group has been practically applied in many real-world situations. For the …

In valley areas, tunnels are commonly constructed near slope surfaces. The seismic
behavior of the tunnel near a slope surface is less understood, especially under the …

Seismic failure mechanism of underground frame structures presents that the collapse of
underground structures attributes to the insufficient seismic resistance of central columns …

The significant uplift of buried pipes observed during recent earthquakes has showed the
need for further research in remediation methods for soil liquefaction. Sand-granulated …
