Abstract
The behavior of center columns in shallow-buried underground subway station structures resembles that of high-rise buildings. In both cases, these columns experience significant vertical loads during earthquake events and are susceptible to brittle failure due to inadequate deformation capacity.

The behavior of center columns in shallow-buried underground subway station structures resembles that of high-rise buildings. In both cases, these columns experience significant vertical loads during earthquake events and are susceptible to brittle failure due to inadequate deformation capacity. In this study, the design concept of split columns, commonly employed in high-rise structures, is adapted for application in a two-story, two-span subway station. Initially, a comparative analysis was conducted using quasi-static pushover analysis to assess the horizontal deformation characteristics of traditional and split columns under high axial loads. Subsequently, a comprehensive quasi-static pushover analysis model encompassing the soil–structure interaction was formulated. This model was employed to investigate differences in seismic performance between traditional and innovative underground structures, considering internal forces, deformation capacity, and plastic damage of crucial elements. The analysis results demonstrate that the incorporation of split columns in a two-story, two-span subway station enhances the overall seismic performance of the structure. This enhancement arises from the fact that split columns mitigate excessive shear forces while effectively utilizing their vertical support and horizontal deformation capacities. Full article

Due to the high nonlinearity of the three-dimensional (3-D) unsaturated-saturated water flow equation, using a fully 3-D numerical model is computationally expensive for large scale applications. A new unsaturated-saturated water flow model is developed in this paper based on the vertical/horizontal splitting (VHS) concept to split the 3-D unsaturated-saturated Richards’ equation into a two-dimensional (2-D) horizontal equation and a one-dimensional (1-D) vertical equation. The horizontal plane of average head gradient in the triangular prism element is derived to split the 3-D equation into the 2-D equation. The lateral flow in the horizontal plane of average head gradient represented by the 2-D equation is then calculated by the water balance method. The 1-D vertical equation is discretized by the finite difference method. The two equations are solved simultaneously by coupling them into a unified nonlinear system with a single matrix. Three synthetic cases are used to evaluate the developed model code by comparing the modeling results with those of Hydrus1D, SWMS2D and FEFLOW. We further apply the model to regional-scale modeling to simulate groundwater table fluctuations for assessing the model applicability in complex conditions. The proposed modeling method is found to be accurate with respect to measurements. Full article
