Abstract. Dynamic response analysis of tunnel with elastic foundation subjected to the load such as the hydrostatic pressure, seismic or moving load is an important but complicate problem in transport engineering due to increasing of traffic volume. This paper is devoted to study dynamic response of a tunnel surrounded by elastic foundation under moving vehicle loads by using the finite element method (FEM). The numerical results were then validated by an experimentation on a real structure.
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.
