Seismic Response Analysis for Shallow Tunnel in Different Earthquake Intensity

Article Preview

Abstract:

Base on the large-shaking table model test,studies on the seismic response characters of shallow tunnel in different earthquake intensity are made by mainly using numerical simulation. The results indicate that there is a good agreement between the model test and numerical simulation. the different earthquake intensity has great effects on the seismic response characters, The distribution of the lining cross-section’s internal force is oval-shaped and the value which in conjugate 45° direction is greater than crown and bottom of arch. Moreover, the internal forces vary from earthquake intensity in the same direction. It is great to recognize the seismic response characters of shallow tunnels through the study results and it provides reference for the similar projects.
