Seismic behaviour of tunnels: From experiments to analysis [PDF]

open access: yesTunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2020
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 past earthquakes, as well as relevant experimental studies. In particular, the observed seismic performance of tunnels is initially discussed, by providing cases of reported ...
