Abstract:Original scientific paper For the purpose of studying the soil-tunnel structure interaction, a number of two-dimensional linear numerical analyses has been performed with the aid of the software package ANSYS. The present study employs both discrete beam-spring and continuous FE models, in order to estimate their ability to simulate the soil-structure interaction effects. Since these effects are particularly pronounced during seismic events, the main attention has been focused on dynamic analyses. The earthqua… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
