Abstract
Dynamic behaviors of underground structures such as underground tanks, submerged tunnels and rock caverns during earthquakes were observed. The earthquake observation revealed that the deformation of underground structures is governed by relative displacements of the surrounding ground, namely, by ground strain during earthquakes, and that underground structures themselves do not have their own natural period and vibration modes. Based on these observed results, the response displacement method was proposed for the earthquake-resistant design of underground structures such as buried pipes, underground tanks and submerged tunnels. Furthermore, the concept of input ground displacement for the design of buried water, sewer and gas pipes in the current design codes of Japan is introduced.
