Shaking table model test on seismic responses of utility tunnel with joint
Deformation joints are universal in underground utility tunnels that belong to the shallow-buried and slender structure. Under seismic loads
the vibration response of the underground structure with a joint will be affected to a great extent. However
the studies on this problem are limited. In this paper
based on the shaking table model test that considers the influence of joints
the seismic response characteristics of the underground utility tunnel under seismic excitation with different waveforms and different peak accelerations were studied. The acceleration
soil pressure
displacement
strain
and bending moment were measured and analysed. The results indicated that the vibration of the tunnel was mainly affected by the surrounding soil and the sidewall of the joint section separated from soil during earthquake excitation
while the tunnel structure displayed a good integrity. The displacement of the tunnel joint was relatively small under the strong earthquake
which did not result in large-scale deformation failure. The distribution of seismic soil pressure under the strong earthquake was nonlinear. The moment on the joint section was less than that in the middle section in the earthquake
