The　paper　presents　a　shaking　table　test　aiming　to　explore　seismic　response　characteristics　and　earthquake　damage　mechanism　of　utility　tunnel　systems.　The　experiment　was　done　on　a　3　m　×　3　m　shaking-table,　and　three　seismic　acceleration　records　were　selected　as　input　motion.　A　utility　tunnel　model　with　the　scale　of　1:10　was　built　up　based　on　statistics　of　the　popular　utility　system　in　China,　which　was　a　two-span　structure　with　transect　size　of　6000　mm　×　2500　mm,　and　the　buried　depth　of　utility　tunnel　body　was　2000　mm.　Seismic　responses　of　the　utility　tunnel　system　and　the　soil　around　it　were　simulated,　and　the　response　characteristics　of　the　whole　utility　tunnel　system　were　discussed.　Results　show　that　the　strength　of　earthquake,　the　quality　of　soil,　the　buried　depth,　the　system　structure,　the　wall　thickness,　the　amount　and　distribution　of　steel　frame　and　so　on　have　great　effects　on　earthquake　damage　of　utility　tunnel　systems.
