Shaking Table Test on Seismic Response of Tunnel-Soil Surface Structure System considering Soil-Structure Interaction by Yantao Li, Ye Tian, Jinhui Zong

“…The seismic responses such as acceleration, strain, and interlayer displacement angle are analyzed, and the vibration characteristics and laws of the interaction system under different seismic loads are studied through the shaking table test. The results show that the type of seismic wave has a significant impact on the seismic response of the system, in which the dynamic response of the surface structure and soil is more sensitive to the seismic wave with rich low-frequency components. …”
