Seismic Propagation from Activity in Tunnels and Underground Facilities
Dynamic mechanical activity in a tunnel can be measured as ground vibrations at offset distances. These signals can be processed in sensing algorithms for detection, location, and discrimination of the activity. The objective of this work is to demonstrate that seismic simulations can reveal the effect of the environment on seismic energy as it propagates from tunnels. Using massively parallel ...
متن کاملdetection of underground tunnels using electrical resistivity and refraction seismic tomography methods
geophysical techniques remain the only ways to remotely and non-destructively sense the earth’s near subsurface and as such have the most promising prospect for rapid and accurate detection of underground tunnels. today, electrical resistivity and seismic refraction geophysical methods have been greatly developed to identify structures and underground cavities. in this study, the ability of the...
متن کاملSpectral evaluation of seismic fragility of structures
ABSTRACT: An approach for assessing the seismic fragility of inelastic structures is presented. In this approach, the structural response, which is evaluated from response spectra with an associated probability distribution, is compared with the performance limits states to assess fragility. Formulas that provide the probability distribution of spectral ordinates are developed based on the cros...
متن کاملFragility Surfaces as Measure of Seismic Performance
Fragility surfaces give the probability of failure for structural or non-structural systems as a function of two parameters, the earthquake magnitude and epicentral distance. These parameters provide a unique characterization of the ground motion. In contrast, the current characterization of the ground motion by a single parameter, e.g., the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), can be unsatisfactory...
متن کامل“the Influence of Tunnels on the Nearby Buildings under Seismic Loadings Conditions”, Case Study: Shiraz Underground-iran
One of the most important factors affecting the design of the structures, is the impact of the earthquake loadings on the forces and the design displacements. Nevertheless, the influences of the near structures on the existing buildings, that sometimes can cause great changes in forces and displacements, can never be forgotten. Thus, the induced displacement in the adjacent buildings of a newly...
