To capture the spatiotemporal features of near-fault ground motion and their effects on tunnel structures, this study proposes a physics-based source-to-structure simulation framework. A frequency-wavenumber (F-K) integration method is used to reconstruct broadband seismic wavefields (0.1–10 Hz) based on the finite-fault source model of the 2022 Mw 6.6 Menyuan earthquake. These waveforms are discretized and applied to a nonlinear finite element model of the Daliang Tunnel, which experienced severe damage during the event. The simulated displacement time histories match well with classical finite fault solutions, and the spatial distribution of co-seismic displacements shows good agreement with InSAR observations, especially in amplitude and trend. Within 50 km of the epicenter, the simulated peak ground accelerations (PGAs) agree closely with strong motion records, and the Fourier spectra below 1 Hz are consistent with observed data. Directional velocity pulses and fling-step effects are captured by analyzing PGV/PGA ratios in strike and normal directions, and further confirmed by wavelet transform analysis of near-fault station responses. Structural analysis reveals that fault-crossing segments experience quasi-static shearing dominated by dislocation, while segments farther from the fault are mainly affected by directional velocity pulses. The dynamic stress induced by these pulses accounts for up to 57.1 % of the quasi-static stress. The results highlight the critical importance of low-frequency ground motion components and directional effects in evaluating the seismic response and damage mechanisms of cross-fault tunnels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49414,"journal":{"name":"Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 106674"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143864610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this gap, this paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear seismic analysis of subway stations embedded in a layered site, specifically in response to obliquely incident shear (SV) waves at arbitrary angles. An innovative procedure, termed the coupled dynamic stiffness matrix–finite element method (DSM-FEM), is introduced to enable seismic input by transforming responses induced by arbitrarily incoming SV waves into equivalent nodal loads. To accurately simulate wave propagation within the site, a viscous-spring artificial boundary is utilized, while a nonlinear generalized Masing model that incorporates modified damping is employed. Using the Daikai subway station as a benchmark, the research examines the effects of varying oblique incident angles on the structural response, taking into account dynamic soil-structure interaction. The results reveal that the maximum response, including peak deformation, internal forces, Mises stress, occurs when the incident angle approaches the critical value. Beyond this critical angle, the seismic response notably diminishes. Additionally, the influence of horizontal incident angles is found to be noticeable, leading to variations in deformation patterns and internal forces across different structural components. Specifically, it has been observed that the drift ratio, displacement, shear force, acceleration, and Mises stress exhibit a decreasing trend as the horizontal incident angles increase. These findings highlight the significance of considering non-vertical input ground motion in seismic analysis, and offer valuable insights for the structural design and safety evaluation of underground structures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49414,"journal":{"name":"Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 106660"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143868881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flame extension behavior after it impinges on a ceiling is a fundamental phenomenon of fire inside a confined space. The flame geometric boundary of ceiling thermal flow impingement determines its thermal impact to the building, which is more complex for fire in a narrow structure, <em>i.e.,</em> a corridor. Moreover, such fire can happen in high-altitude locations with naturally sub-atmospheric environment, which also alerts the fire behavior complicatedly. This study investigated the ceiling impinging flame structure and flow characteristics in a corridor fire under various sub-atmospheric pressures, for which the evolutionary mechanism of their coupling effects (narrow confined space; sub-atmospheric pressure) has not been revealed in the past. A series of experiments is performed under various source-ceiling heights, fire heat release rates, and reduced pressures (from 55 to 100 kPa). Results show that pressure significantly affects the ceiling flame geometry, and that for a given fire heat release rate, the flame extension length is larger under lower sub-atmospheric pressures. When the fire heat release rate is relatively low in normal pressure, the flame extension length in the central of the ceiling is larger than that in the two sides, and a half-ellipse geometry is presented (which is primarily controlled by fuel supply). However, the flame in the two sides extend farther compared with that in the central of the ceiling, presenting a “U” shape as the atmospheric pressure decreases and the fire heat release rate increases (primarily affected by the side wall constraint). A new correlation was proposed to describe the dimensionless flame extension area with a proposed dimensionless fire release rate.

Research on clean and efficient fire extinguishing technology during the early development stage of tunnel fires will effectively control the fire’s progression and significantly reduce fire losses. This paper aims to investigate the possible use of sound waves as an early fire extinguishing technology in tunnels. Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of low-frequency sound waves, which are known to destabilize flames, on the diffusion flames of propane jets. The study evaluates the impact of sound waves on flame behavior and blowout limits. The experiment utilized a sound fire extinguishing test system equipped with a 2.5 mm nozzle, installed in sound waves with frequencies of 30 and 70 Hz. During the experiments, we carefully observed and analyzed the variation of the flame’s length at different sound frequencies and sound pressures. We studied the critical sound frequency and sound pressure at the critical condition of flame blowout. The results demonstrate that the lower the frequency, the more pronounced the influence of the sound wave on the flame, leading to a decrease in flame length with an increasing level of sound pressure. A model is proposed to predict the flame length under different sound wave conditions. Through the study of flame blowout behavior under the influence of sound waves, a non-monotonous transition in the extinction limit of non-lifted and lifted jet flames is found. Subsequently, a theoretical model to characterize flame blowout behavior, considering the effect of sound wave fields based on the Damköhler number theory, is developed. This study has confirmed that sound waves can extinguish gas leak jet fires and have the potential to be applied to control fires in confined spaces, such as tunnels. It should also be emphasized as a limitation that the present study is focused on smaller-scale diffusion fires under controlled laboratory conditions, which differ significantly from the high-pressure, large-scale jet fires typically encountered in natural gas or hydrogen vehicle fires. The findings of this study, therefore, should not be directly applied to those types of fires. Further research is needed to extend these findings to high-pressure jet fires, such as those that might occur in vehicle scenarios, where the dynamics and flame behavior are influenced by much higher pressures and different fuel characteristics.
