Features: This book primarily discusses the damage and characteristics of underground structures under earthquakes, seismic calculation and design methods for underground structures, seismic structural measures for underground structures, etc. It specifically includes an introduction to seismic resistance of underground structures, seismic damage of underground structures, earthquakes and seismic zoning, dynamic properties of soil under earthquakes and calculation of soil acoustic energy dynamic response, dynamic interaction between soil and structures, stress waves in geotechnical engineering, boundaries for dynamic calculations, seismic calculation methods for underground structures, seismic model tests for underground structures, as well as seismic design principles and structural measures. The book incorporates the author's recent research achievements in this field and introduces the principles and analytical calculation methods of seismic resistance for underground structures, along with practical examples from China. This book can serve as a reference for designers and researchers engaged in seismic engineering, and can also be used as a teaching reference for postgraduate students and senior undergraduate students in civil engineering and underground structure majors in higher education institutions.
