THE IMPACT OF EARTHQUAKES OF TUNNEL LININGS: A CASE STUDY FROM THE HANOI METRO SYSTEM
Keywords:
Tunnel lining, earthquake, state stress, internal forcesAbstract
At present, systems of infrastructure are built and developed very strongly in Hanoi. The metro
tunnels system is also being designed and built in Hanoi to meet the requirements of economic and social
development. The paper uses the Wang's method, Penzien & Wu's method, HRM method and a two –
dimensional numerical analysis method by Abaqus software to evaluate the impact of the strongest earthquake
that could occur in Hanoi to the tunnel lining of Hanoi metro system, this impact could be the internal forces
and state stress on the tunnel lining. Based on results obtained from assessing the impact of earthquakes to the
tunnel lining in the Hanoi metro system, this paper has compared and commented to these results for the
purpose of finding the most accurate results about the impact of earthquakes on the tunnel lining in the Hanoi
metro system. These results and comments will be used in the design and construction tunnel in the Hanoi
metro system under the impact of the strongest earthquake that could occur in Hanoi.
