Abstract: A novel metro station, in the city of Shanghai, is firstly designed and constructed in soft soils. The station is composed of two different structure sections, i.e. a 2-storey and 3-span structure, and a large opening structure. A full 3D soil-structure FE model is established to analyze dynamic responses of the metro station subjected to different seismic input waves. Results indicate that...
Abstract: Tunnel has been applied widely in the world's major underground transportation engineering. In recent years, earthquake disasters frequently occurred in whole world, such as Kobe earthquake in Japan in 1995 and Wenchuan earthquake in China in 2008, caused damage to underground structure facility. Therefore, seismologists around the world pay attention to seismic studies of underground...
Abstract: In recent years, shield tunnelling method has been widely used in world’s underground transportation engineering due to its high mechanization and mature technology. However, according to past researches, slender structures as shield tunnels are particularly sensitive to differential settlement of foundation, which may lead to large opening of the segment joints and consequently complete...
Abstract: With the development of urban underground space, fire prevention and fire resistance design for underground constructions is getting widespread attention. Subway stations are a great part of underground constructions for which the fire resistance design has already been paid attention to. While exposed to a fire, the station structures, the components inside the platform layer, the station hall...
Abstract: Statistically speaking, underground structures experienced a lower rate of damage than surface structures. Nevertheless, in the wake of vast construction of underground facility, i.e. subways, underground emporiums and pipelines, some underground structures have experienced serious damage during recent large earthquakes. Consequently, varies of methods for seismic design and analysis of...
