Traditional　subway　construction　technology　still　mainly　involves　on-site　poured　concrete　construction,　which　causes　many　social　and　environmental　problems　and　at　the　same　time　is　not　compatible　with　the　modern　concept　of　resilient　city　construction　and　sustainable　development.　A　new　prefabricated　subway　station　construction　technology　can　effectively　solve　many　of　the　problems　caused　by　traditional　cast-in-situ　technology　and　provide　for　the　sustainable　development　of　subway　construction　programmes.　As　an　important　part　of　an　urban　lifeline　system,　the　seismic　performance　of　subway　stations　has　always　attracted　much　attention.　This　paper　focuses　on　the　dynamic　response　of　the　single-ring　structure　of　a　prefabricated　subway　station　under　horizontal　earthquake　shaking.　Using　the　commercial　finite　element　software　ABAQUS,　numerical　analysis　models　of　two　large-scale　underground　structures　have　been　developed:　the　single-ring　structure　of　a　prefabricated　subway　station　and　the　traditional　cast-in-situ　subway　station.　Under　the　same　earthquake　action,　there　are　obvious　differences　between　the　prefabricated　structure　and　the　traditional　cast-in-place　structure.　Compared　to　the　seismic　response　of　traditional　cast-in-situ　structures,　the　ground　acceleration　response　of　the　prefabricated　structure　is　slightly　reduced,　the　overall　deformation　is　slightly　increased,　the　maximum　internal　force　and　stresses　are　significantly　reduced,　the　internal　force　transmission　path　is　changed,　and　the　area　of　influence　in　the　surrounding　soil　is　significantly　reduced.　Comprehensive　comparative　analysis　shows　that　the　single-ring　structure　of　the　prefabricated　subway　station　has　good　deformation　resistance　and　excellent　mechanical　properties　under　horizontal　earthquake　shaking　and　the　overall　seismic　performance　meets　the　design　requirements.　Finally,　the　seismic　response　characteristics　and　energy　dissipation　advantages　of　the　prefabricated　single-ring　structure　are　discussed.　The　research　conclusions　will　provide　useful　references　for　resilient　city　construction　and　sustainable　urban　development.
