Abstract
This paper presents a novel numerical approach based on the domain reduction method (DRM) for the dynamic analysis of twin tunnels constructed in liquefiable double-layered grounds during earthquakes. The proposed method extends the DRM scheme into saturated layered fields, allowing for accurate reproduction of the seismic wavefield within a non-linear liquefiable subdomain. This novel approach is employed to conduct a parametric analysis of the internal force responses of tunnel linings, investigating the influence of the stiffness ratio of neighboring soil layers, the spacing-radius ratio of twin tunnels, and the angle of incident seismic waves. The results indicate that all three parameters have nonnegligible influences on the tunnel’s maximum internal forces.
