Effect of tunnel depth on the amplification pattern of environmental vibrations considering the seismic interactions between the tunnel and the surrounding soil: A numerical simulation
Abstract The amplitude and frequency of seismic waves caused by an earthquake are modified according to the physical characteristics of the subsurface. Further modification is due to soil - structure kinematic interactions between the subsurface medium and the seismic waves. Analysis of ground motio...
