Abstract:
In order to study the seismic response of deep non-circular tunnels under far-field seismic SV waves, a pseudo static analytical solution for the seismic response of the tunnel was first derived by using complex variable function theory and conformal mapping method. The proposed analytical solution can take into account variations in the lining thickness and the different interactions between the surrounding rock and lining. Then, the validity and correctness of the analytical solution were verified by numerical methods based on engineering examples of circular, elliptical and horseshoe tunnels. Finally, the significant effects of key parameters, such as the surrounding rock-lining interface conditions, the lining cross-sectional geometry, and the relative stiffness of the surrounding rock and the lining, on the seismic response of the tunnel were discussed. The results showed that with the increase in the interface flexibility coefficient, the normalized thrust of elliptical and horseshoe linings decreased, the deformation increased, and the moment first increased and then decreased. The influence of cross-sectional shape on the internal force of the lining is complex. The large-span and flat lining of the tunnel had large deformation and surrounding rock stress. The increase in the elastic modulus of the surrounding rock or the decrease in the lining thickness resulted in a decrease in the lining thrust and moment and an increase in the deformation. The reasonable combination of rock stiffness and lining thickness can be used to achieve the optimal balance between the internal forces and deformation of the flexible lining in the seismic design of the tunnel. The proposed solution can be easily and quickly applied to the preliminary analysis and prediction of the seismic internal force and deformation of deep tunnels, providing a theoretical basis and scientific reference for engineering seismic design and evaluation.
