Abstract:Currently, research on the prediction of earthquake damage to urban buildings is mainly concentrated on aboveground structures. With the development of underground space and the increasing number of underground structures, prediction of earthquake damage to underground structures is attracting increasing attention. This paper systematically introduces the form and mechanism of earthquake damage to underground structures. Then, we summarize the seismic prediction methods typically used for underground structures based on a review of recent research on the prediction of earthquake damage to underground structures. These methods include the investigation and statistical analysis of earthquake damage, numerical simulation, the shaking table test, and probability analysis. An analysis of the typical applications of these methods and their advantages and disadvantages is presented. This paper can provide support and serve as a reference for future research on the prediction of earthquake damage to underground structures.
