AbstractBlast waves have a random direction of propagation with reference to the axis of the tunnel and this renders the problem three-dimensional. Because tunnels are buried in a certain depth, a half-space model is more appropriate than a full space model in the dynamic analysis. In this paper, three-dimensional (3D) dynamic response of a lined tunnel buried in a half-space of soil due to blasting is studied analytically. The lining structure and the surrounding soil are treated as a homogeneous elastic medium and a saturated porous medium, respectively. The 3D solutions for displacement, stress and pore water pressure in the saturated soil and the displacement at the ground surface are derived in time domain by means of the Fourier and Laplace transforms. The effects of buried depth to these various dynamic responses are investigated numerically.
Highlights3D blast dynamic responses of a lined tunnel in a saturated half space are derived.Dynamic responses attenuate exponentially along the radial and axial directions of the tunnel.Liquefaction of saturated soil is more likely to occur in deeper buried depth.Influence range of dynamic response increases with the growing depth of the lining.
