Dynamic Response Simulation of Lining Structure for Tunnel Portal Section under Seismic Load by Guoqing Liu, Juntao Chen, Ming Xiao, Yang Yang

“…The dynamic response characteristics of lining structure for the portal section under seismic load were analyzed by taking example for an exit section of Dianzhong diversion project in strong earthquake area. The results show that the relative displacement magnitudes of the lining parts are related to the vibration direction of the seismic wave, and the peak displacements decrease gradually to the fixed values from the portal to the interior. …”
