By considering train load as single linear moving load and rock mass as viscoelastic layered ground
the paper analyzes the dynamical response of the rock below the moving train with the Multi-Layer method. The affecting range of the moving load is obtained
thus the affecting extent of the moving train load on the stability of the underlying highway tunnel can be evaluated. The comparison of theoretical analysis with site monitoring results(mainly about the vibration response of the tunnel) shows that they accord with each other.
