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 …

Accurate seismic assessment and proper aseismic design of underground structures require
a comprehensive understanding of seismic performance and response of underground …

Transport infrastructure is the backbone of the economy and society, while at the same time
is exposed to multiple hazards. Previous natural disasters, including earthquakes, had a …

A tunnel is an imperative underground passageway that supports fast and uninterrupted
transportation. Over time, various factors, such as ageing, topographical changes, and …

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

In this study, a large-scaled model test was conducted to explore the deformation and failure
mechanism of tunnel with fault rupture. The strain evolution, ground fissure and …

This paper presents an intelligent methodology for monitoring and assessing the interfacial
debonding damage process of concrete-rock composites through the piezoelectric-based …

This study develops fragility curves for rectangular cut-and-cover tunnels from nonlinear
frame analyses. Fragility curves are generated for single, double, and triple boxes …

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 …
