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: 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...
