英文摘要 | The rock mass surrounding a subsea tunnel often contains seawater, and the coupled effects of an earthquake and seepage introduce more uncertainty into analyses of tunnel safety. However, research on this topic is still lacking. In the present study, models of structure and fluid fields were established by considering the effect of a two-dimensional viscoelastic boundary condition, and the stability of a cross-sea tunnel structure under seepage and a bidirectional earthquake was studied. Using a static strength-reduction method on the basis of dynamic finite elements, a stability-safety coefficient was obtained. In addition, the influences of sea depth, overlying rock thickness, and permeability coefficient on the seismic dynamic stability-safety coefficient and varying characteristics of the plastic zone in a cross-sea tunnel structure under seepage and a bidirectional earthquake were studied through numerical examples. The results showed that under this type of earthquake, plastic zones first appeared on both sides of the tunnel arch feet and in the peripheral areas of the arch shoulders; by contrast, the vault was secure, and no plastic zone appeared in this area. When all factors were considered, the plastic zones extended farther when the overlying rock thickness and sea depth were greater. When the overlying rock was thick and the rock mass surrounding the tunnel was only slightly weathered, the rock mass was close to intact, and as a consequence, the permeability coefficient did not significantly affect the development of the plastic zone or the stability-safety factor. The influences of these three parameters on the safety of a subsea tunnel, as obtained in this paper, can provide a theoretical basis for the reasonable design of submarine tunnels. © 2017 American Society of Civil Engineers. |
