Abstract The 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake (Mw 7.6) caused damage to 49 tunnels
within 60 km of the epicenter, including the collapse of three mountain tunnels, ending the …

Considering the increasingly complex and interconnected subway tunnels linking cities, this
review argues that the overall reliability of tunnel engineering is crucial for protection when …

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 …

Fault fracture zones are adverse geological conditions often encountered in the
constructions of mountain tunnels. Extensive structural damage to the mountain tunnels in …

The enclosure structure is an indispensable part of the construction system of the
prefabricated subway station structure (PSSS), and has a significant impact on the overall …

The longitudinal bending stiffness of tunnels is one of the most important parameters for the
structural design of the tunnel longitudinal deformations during seismic loading. The aim of …

This paper is based on the research and development of the first fully prefabricated subway
station in Changchun as the engineering background. Through the first large-scale shaking …

Sharp transitions in structure stiffness and/or ground properties have a significant influence
on the seismic response of tunnels. These issues are not well understood yet, or at least not …

Social development has led to the placement of high standards on ultra-long and ultra-deep
mountain tunnels. Disasters may be encountered during the construction and maintenance …

The segment joints of a shield tunnel are susceptible to deformation and leakage during
seismic events. In liquefiable strata, opened joints can form seepage channels, which …
