A Study of the Vibration Impact of Underground Circular Structure on the Surrounding Buildings

Article Preview

Abstract:

The finite element model with artificial boundary was used to simulate dynamic response of an underground circular structure (tunnel, cavern) and displacement of the ground surface under incidence of Rayleigh wave, and to quantitatively analyze the effects of incident wavelength, diameter of structure, and liner stiffness on ground surface displacement amplification. The numerical results show that, the surface displacement amplitude with a tunnel can be 1.3 times of that for the case of without the tunnel. It is suggested that the effects of a tunnel on ground motion should be considered when the tunnel is planned and designed.
