The aseismic performance of shallow buried water-supplying tunnel in soft soil area is becoming more and more important with the development of large-scale water transportation. The problem of earthquake input pattern has been referred. For large-scale water-conveying tunnel

the spatial variation characteristics of earthquake excitation

namely

multi-point input has great effects on seismic response of the water-conveying tunnel. Aim at this problem

the paper considers interaction among surrounding rock tunnel lining and water

at the same time

traveling wave effect and influence of different exciting direction of earthquake motion. The result indicates: compared with the coincident earthquake excitation

traveling wave effect brings disadvantageous influence on seismic response of the water-conveying tunnel.
