Abstract：
The significant characteristic of a near-fault earthquake is its directivity effect, therefore, the influence of non-uniform excitation induced by an oblique incident earthquake on a tunnel structure should not be ignored.Based on the wave numerical simulation theory of a viscoelastic artificial boundary, a numerical analysis of the transverse seismic response of a mountain tunnel was carried out with the Wenchuan Wolong earthquake wave using ANSYS, and the influence of the incident angle on the lining dynamic response was studied. The results show that: the dynamic responses of the lining structures subjected to the oblique incidence of seismic waves are quite different from those subjected to the vertical incidence of seismic waves, and they present the characteristics of being vertical?
ly loaded, with a structure response that increases with an increase of the incident angle; and in the case of oblique incidence, weak parts of the lining are at the crown, haunch and arch spring.
