Abstract

A boundary forced response displacement method is proposed for the seismic analysis of symmetrical underground structures based on the requirement of quasi-static pushover test of soil-underground structure systems. The implementation procedure and special features of the method are introduced in detail. We took the Daikai subway station which was damaged during the Kobe earthquake in Japan as an example for the analysis, and compared the results of boundary forced response displacement method, the FEM seismic deformation method and the dynamic time-history analysis method. The results show that the accuracy of the new method was much higher than the FEM seismic deformation method when the width of the model was reasonable. The errors of the internal forces and the story drift were less than 15%. The new method is an effective simplified method for seismic response analysis of symmetrical underground structures. The attenuation law of lateral boundary forced displacement was analyzed. It provides references for the quasi-static pushover test of soil-underground structure system.
