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 …

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 …

The expanding infrastructural projects together with the prior historical records of significant
earthquakes including the deadliest 2005 Kashmir earthquake in the Himalayan region …

This study proposes a novel hybrid MFO-XGBoost model that integrates the moth-flame
optimization (MFO) algorithm and the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) to predict the …

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 …

A 40-m long test was conducted to estimate the seismic performance of the tunnel of the
Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge project under non-uniform earthquake loadings. The test …

In the last few decades, Jammu and Kashmir has faced many moderate to large earthquake
events that caused catastrophic damage to the physical infrastructure and significant …
