Abstract

Iran is one of the most seismically active areas in the world. Railway tunnels are an integral part of the infrastructure of modern society. Railway tunnels built in areas subject to earthquake activity must withstand both seismic and static loading. In this manner, some railroad tunnels need retrofitting. They have been designed without considering the seismic loading and can damage in future earthquakes. Thus, these tunnels should be evaluated, seismically. This paper, presents a summary seismic analysis and evaluation of railroad tunnels with stone masonry lining. 68 railroad tunnel is investigated, in this manner, as a case study.
