Abstract
From the past to today, Underground structures constitute a crucial element of modern life, serving diverse purposes such as transportation, storing materials, and managing sewage and water transportation. The most widely used type of these underground structures are tunnels used for transportation in subways, railways, and highways. Unlike different fields in the construction sector, the tunnel industry has followed the age of mechanization. Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) machines are used for faster and safer excavation. These machines enable tunnels to be excavated in a circular and pre-casted tunnel permanent lining is installed during excavation. The segmental lining must withstand both seismic and static loadings in the active seismic zone to give serviceability to the post-earthquake.
The assessment of seismic performance in underground structures is currently a highly relevant research area within geotechnical earthquake and structural engineering
