Study on Seismic Response Mechanism of Cross‑fault Tunnels Driven by Fault Site Nonlinearity
To reveal the influence of nonlinear characteristics of fault sites on the seismic response mechanism of cross-fault tunnels
the dynamic response of tunnel structures under the driving effect of site nonlinearity was systematically analyzed using shaking table model tests. The results indicated that the fault site exhibited a pronounced three-dimensional spatial response
where the reflection and refraction of seismic waves amplified high-frequency components and induced additional vibration components. Moreover
as seismic intensity increased
the site demonstrated nonlinear behavior
including shear modulus degradation and enhanced damping. The acceleration responses of the cross-fault tunnels were characterized by spatially heterogeneous distribution
with the most pronounced response concentrated at the fault interface zone
whose spectral characteristics were jointly controlled by site effects and seismic input. Tunnel damage was dominated by shear deformation
with deformation magnitudes in the fault zone significantly exceeding those of the surrounding rock
and the inter-segment differential deformation increasing nonlinearly with seismic intensity. Lining damage evolution exhibited strong spatial correlation
with cracks tending to propagate obliquely along the fault interface. Variations in structural dynamic properties effectively reflected the stiffness degradation process. These findings reveal the seismic damage mechanism of tunnels under nonlinear fault site effects
thereby providing a theoretical basis for the seismic design of cross-fault tunnels.
