Seismic damage to rock tunnels from recent earthquakes indicates an
urgent need for seismic assessment and aseismic design of
underground structures. This book offers a comprehensive account of
seismic performance and the response of underground structures
under earthquake loading, necessary for adequate assessment and
design. The book presents research methods for the rate-dependent
mechanical behavior of rock and for the seismic behavior of
underground structures. It describes analytical solutions to
investigate the seismic response of tunnels subjected to seismic
waves, toward an improved quantitative understanding of the seismic
deformation and failure mechanism in both longitudinal and
transversal aspects. A performance-based restoration design
criterion and aseismic design are also proposed for future tunnel
planning. Includes a detailed case study for the seismic
performance assessment of rock tunnels under earthquake loading
Explores the relationship between seismic damage to underground
structures and ground deformation Covers a range of issues from
mechanisms, analysis, assessment and design of both new tunnels and
restoration projects The book is ideal for earthquake engineers and
researchers, and will also be of interest to contractors, clients,
researchers, lecturers, and advanced students working on tunnel
engineering.
