In order to study the interdependencies between the overall lining damage indices for mountain tunnels and ground motion parameters, a total of 89 ground motion records were selected for analysis. These records were divided into three groups: (1) near-field ground motion with velocity pulses,...

A total of 81 mountain tunnels that were damaged in 10 strong earthquakes are studied. They are classified into six typical damage characteristics: lining cracks, shear failure of lining, tunnel collapse caused by slope failure, portal cracking, leaking, and deformation of sidewall/invert...

Earthquake-induced landslides can cause a large number of casualties and great economic loss. Presently, research methods for studying landslides are largely based on a framework of solid mechanics. In this work, visualization software, known as Visual SPH, is developed in Visual Basic 6.0, and...
