The previous earthquake surveys show that central columns are the weak parts in subway
stations during the earthquakes. Reducing the seismic responses of central columns can …

Damage analyses of rectangular cut-and-cover tunnels are performed to define the damage
states and corresponding damage indices (DIs) under seismic loading. Single, double, and …

Insufficient lateral deformability of columns within the high axial force is the main failure
mechanism of subway stations under earthquake loading. This study proposed applying …

The subway station structures have a contradiction in its design of the cross section of the
central columns: larger aspect ratio increases the longitudinal traffic capacity, yet decreases …

The seismic response of a fabricated subway station is a complex structural connection
problem that depends on the mechanical properties of the joints. In order to obtain the …

This paper analyses the influence of friction coefficient and equivalent radius on the seismic
reduction effect of friction pendulum bearings in the underground station under far-field and …

Setting friction pendulum bearings (FPB) at the top of central columns may be a good
strategy to reduce the stations' seismic responses. In this paper, the FPB is simulated in a …

The method to protect the whole station structure by installing flexible devices at the column
end has been proved to be effective in typical station structures. However, the dam** …

Understanding seismic energy input and dissipation mechanism is necessary for energy-
based seismic design of complex underground structures. Due to the intrinsic uncertainty of …
