Numerical analysis of the tunnel uplift behavior subjected to seismic loading
Numerical analysis of the tunnel uplift behavior subjected to seismic loading
Seismic loading has always been a major concern for any engineering structures, and thereby, underground facilities (e.g., tunnels) are not exceptional. It is due to the seismically induced uplift and instability of tunnels caused by the large deformation of liquefiable soils. Therefore, the tunnel uplift behaviors subjected to seismic loading are always taken into account in any designing stages of tunnels.
