The paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the current understanding of the seismic
behaviour of tunnels. Emphasis is placed on recorded responses of actual tunnels during …

This paper aims at the vulnerability assessment of circular tunnels in soft soil deposits of the
metropolitan subway system of Shanghai, accounting for the effects of soil-structure …

A numerical parametric study was conducted on diverse soil-rectangular tunnel systems,
aiming to shed light on critical response characteristics of rectangular tunnels subjected to …

A series of dynamic centrifuge tests were carried out at the geotechnical centrifuge facility of
IFSTTAR in Nantes, to investigate the response of box-type tunnels embedded in dry sand …

In tunneling practices, it is vital to have an accurate estimate of the depth of embedment of
the tunnel; lining thickness and shape of the tunnel, which enables resisting of stresses; and …

The seismic response characteristics of underground structures are very different from those
of aboveground structures. Great efforts have been made in investigating the influence …

The paper presents a numerical approach for the construction of seismic fragility curves for
shallow metro tunnels considering the soil-structure-interaction (SSI) and the aging effects …

This paper reviews some key issues regarding the cyclic loading response of offshore piled
foundations. Starting with axial loading it considers: the cyclic loading that can be expected; …

A series of dynamic centrifuge tests were performed on a flexible aluminium square tunnel
model embedded in Hostun dry sand. The tests were carried out at the centrifuge facility of …

The paper investigates the seismic response of square tunnels in sand by means of dynamic
centrifuge testing and numerical analysis. A series of dynamic centrifuge tests, conducted at …
