Abstract
A viscous‐slip interface model is proposed to simulate the contact state between a tunnel lining structure and the surrounding rock. The boundary integral equation method is adopted to solve the scattering of the plane SV wave by a tunnel lining in an elastic half‐space. We place special emphasis on the dynamic stress concentration of the lining and the amplification effect on the surface displacement near the tunnel. Scattered waves in the lining and half‐space are constructed using the fictitious wave sources close to the lining surfaces based on Green’s functions of cylindrical expansion and the shear wave source. The magnitudes of the fictitious wave sources are determined by viscous‐slip boundary conditions, and then the total response is obtained by superposition of the free and scattered fields. The slip stiffness and viscosity coefficients at the lining‐surrounding rock interface have a significant influence on the dynamic stress distribution and the nearby surface displacement response in the tunnel lining. Their influence is controlled by the incident wave frequency and angle. The hoop stress increases gradually in the inner wall of the lining as sliding stiffness increases under a low‐frequency incident wave. In the high‐frequency resonance frequency band, where incident wave frequency is consistent with the natural frequency of the soil column above the tunnel, the dynamic stress concentration effect is more significant when it is smaller. The dynamic stress concentration factor inside the lining decreases gradually as the viscosity coefficient increases. The spatial distribution and the displacement amplitudes of surface displacement near the tunnel change as incident wave frequency and angle increase. The effective dynamic analysis of the underground structure under an actual strong dynamic load should consider the slip effect at the lining‐surrounding rock interface.

Analyses of seismic damage incurred by disasters such as the Kobe earthquake, Chi-Chi earthquake, and Wenchuan earthquake have shown that underground structures might be severely damaged during strong earthquakes, resulting in massive economic and societal losses [1,2,3,4,5]

Summary
Analyses of seismic damage incurred by disasters such as the Kobe earthquake, Chi-Chi earthquake, and Wenchuan earthquake have shown that underground structures might be severely damaged during strong earthquakes, resulting in massive economic and societal losses [1,2,3,4,5]. Yi et al [29] presented an analytical solution to the out-of-plane dynamic response of a shallow tunnel lining under the action of a plane SH wave including interface contact sti ness, incident angle, wave frequency, and tunnel depth as these factors a ect the dynamic stress concentration of the lining. Until now, few studies have explored the seismic response of shallow tunnels under incident SV waves with the interface-slipping model due to the complexity of multimode coupling and hybrid boundary conditions. We used an indirect boundary integral equation method (IBIEM) to solve the scattering of the plane SV wave by a tunnel lining in a half-space based on the viscous-slip interface model. We assessed the in uence of parameters such as incident wave frequency and angle, viscous-slip interface sti ness, and viscosity coe cient on the overall dynamic response of the lining and surrounding rock. We assessed the in uence of parameters such as incident wave frequency and angle, viscous-slip interface sti ness, and viscosity coe cient on the overall dynamic response of the lining and surrounding rock. is study can provide a theoretical basis for the seismic design of actual underground engineering structures under intense dynamic loads
