Dynamic responses of tunnels subjected to Rayleigh wave

摘要

Seismically induced tunnels damages are extensively reported recently; resulting in the urgently need to understand dynamic responses of a tunnel subjected to various seismic impacts. Focusing on the dynamic response of tunnels in shallow overburden, this study utilizes numerical simulation to investigate the seismically induced stress and deformation of lining. Rayleigh wave (R-wave) is considered here as the major seismic impact.
