Deformation and Failure Mechanism of Rock Tunnels Under Earthquake - Loadin

This covers seismic performance, deformation and failure mechanisms, good aseismic design, and effective damage assessment and restoration. It gives analytical solutions for longitudinal and transversal seismic deformation, along with performance-based restoration design and aseismic design, and a case study of Japan's Tawarayama tunnel.
