Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Earthquake prevention and disaster reduction are important components of national public safety and public welfare and are related to the safety of people's lives and property and the sustainable development of the economy and society. Strengthening the ability of cities to respond to disasters and improving urban resilience are necessary in order to improve daily life for people, including in terms of earthquake safety. As the most important component of urban rail transit systems, the seismic design of subway running tunnels and subway stations, which are buried in soil foundations, cannot be ignored.
This Special Issue will cover topics including, but not limited to:
(1) The seismic dynamic response of underground structures;
(2) The seismic dynamic characteristics of clay;
(3) The seismic liquefaction of sand;
(4) The dynamic characteristics of soil under traffic loading;
(5) Interactions between soil foundations and underground structures.
