Abstract

Journal of Vibration and Control, Ahead of Print.
Due to the inherently loose structure and low shear strength of loess, loess tunnels are particularly vulnerable to damage from surrounding deformation under seismic excitation. In this work, the pseudo-static method is adopted to transform the SV-wave ...
