In order to develop the seismic design methods in the transverse direction of a shield tunnel, a series of model shaking table tests and a two-dimensional finite element dynamic analysis are carried out. Results of the tests and dynamic analysis confirm that the seismic deformation method is adaptable to seismic design in the transverse direction of a shield tunnel. Two kinds of practical design methods based on seismic design method are proposed, and the validity of the design methods is verified by the tests.
