Comparing the Velocity Spectrum Caused by the Presence of Circular Urban Subway Tunnels With Free-Field Conditions

For structures in the near field, the velocity spectrum is significant. The aim of this study is to examine, taking into account the soil–structure interaction (SSI), how metropolitan subway tunnels with a circular cross section in alluvial soils affect the ground surface velocity spectrum.

description For structures in the near field, the velocity spectrum is significant. The aim of this study is to examine, taking into account the soil–structure interaction (SSI), how metropolitan subway tunnels with a circular cross section in alluvial soils affect the ground surface velocity spectrum. The frequency of the soil–tunnel systems was altered by varying the parameters of the soil and the geometrical features of the tunnel, such as the radius, the lining’s thickness, and the depth of burial. The maximum velocity was determined at several sites on the ground surface as well as the tunnel crown. Based on the soil–tunnel system’s period, the spectrum velocity graph was produced by averaging and squaring the standard deviation of the highest velocity for every frequency. Ansys finite element software and Plaxis2D were used in this study. The findings demonstrate that the tunnel’s presence reduces spectral velocity (SV) relative to free-field (FF) circumstances during the examined period at the position that corresponds to the ground-based image of the tunnel crown. The tunnel’s existence lowers the ground-level velocity range by 14.5 percent. By moving away from the image of the tunnel crown on the ground surface, the presence of the tunnel amplifies the SV at more points by 5.5% at long periods. In addition, the tunnel crown velocity spectrum was developed. The findings indicate that the velocity spectrum diagram’s envelope for the tunnel crown is a nonlinear function of the soil–tunnel system’s period.
