Notizen:
In this paper the seismic behaviour of buried concrete tunnels is studied using the finite element method. The numerical tool employed is the well-known soil-structure interaction computer program FLUSH and thus analyses are carried out in the frequency domain. The seismic environment is supposed to consist of vertically propagating shear and compression waves that reproduce artificial accelerograms of a broad frequency content at selected control points. The effect of near or adjacent massive structures, such as those of nuclear power plants, is evaluated showing their influence on tunnel response. The results calculated for acceleration levels, internal structural loads, response spectra, etc., are analysed and compared either with those obtained from soil free-field response or with others computed using an alternative simplified methodology, providing useful information for preliminary design purposes.
