Abstract

Development of civil engineering science has introduced tunneling as an important option in reducing the traffic volume of urban environments. Digging tunnels, in every depth, causes changes in the surface ground structure; tunneling in urban areas, especially when has passed through the residential areas has its own particular importance; therefore, having knowledge about tunnels' behavior and effects of diggings is necessary, and in order to prevent unpredictable damages to the structures is one of the requirements of designing. The performance and behavior of underground structures have been studied by many researchers, but the effects of tunneling on earthquake records and its effects on structures above the ground has taken less attention. This study will try to check earthquake record changes and their impact on steel structures located on top part of the tunnels, and has done this issue with digging some circular tunnels. The results indicate that, tunneling alters the earthquake records and also has affections on structural responses.
