Dashdorj Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan ABSTRACT: This includes examples of a destructive effect of earthquakes on the underground structures and the new mechanic–mathematical model of the inclined-stratified massif, which differs from the like model in such a way that enables to research stressed state of an underground structure for arbitrary orientation of the extended axis. Besides, this includes the results of calculating a three-dimensional seismic stressed state of the underground system, which includes a metro station escalator open line tunnels in the soft ground that has inclined and stratified structure. 1 INTRODUCTION A lot of cases of damage and destruction of under- ground structures during a strong earthquake are known. They include, for example, underground pip- ing, mountain tunnels, stationary and metro open line tunnels of both shallow and deep shaft.There are many examples of considerable damage and strong destruc- tions in underground structures, from piping to mines, all around the world. Underground structures seem to be stable. But this is not quite true. For example, as shown on the Figure 1, in Daikai, Japan, during earth- quakes in Kobe in 1995 (Magnitude – 7.5) not only the roofs and sides of the metro station but also its columns were being destroyed laid at a epth of 50 m from the surface (Iida et al. 1996, Ishihara 1998).There occurred mass destruction in underground mines at a depth of 326 m near the town of Shurab during the Isfara-Batkent earthquake in 1977 (Middle Asia, Figure 1. Characteristic features of destructions of the magnitude – 6.5). (Rashidov et al. 1975). metro station during earthquakes in Kobe, Japan in 1995. Based on the analysis of damage of Based on the analysis of damage of 71 underground both in the shallow and deep shaft and also in the earth structures caused by earthquakes, Ch. Daudin, stratum and rock mass. Factors, which effect on such D.V. Monakhenko, S.G. Shulman and others propose destructions are diverse. The strength of structure and to assess them by five categories: 1–shifts along con- fastening elements depends not only on manufactured tacts; 2–general distortion; 3–local cracks; 4–rock materials, but also on physical & mechanical proper- fracturing and failure and 5–partial failure (Mon- ties of the surrounding massif. However, one may note akhenko & Shulman 1980). a characteristic feature that underground structures of A general analysis shows that during intensive deep shaft are destroyed owing to dynamic stresses earthquakes underground structures may be destroyed surpassing the breaking point of fastening materials. 751 The ground stratum surrounding an underground spreading.

The variant I corresponds to the wave propa- gation along the line of layer spreading (intersection of the inclined plane of isotropy and the horizontal plane at the angle ϕ), the variant II–across the line of layer spreading at the angle φ. They were previously consid- ered by J.S.Yerzhanov,Sh.M.Aitaliev,J.K.Massanov in the above-mentioned work. Thereby underground openings are on the hori- zontal plane, though they are oriented in a different way related to the line of layer spreading (plane of isotropy): drifts and crosscuts, if they are oriented towards the line of layer spreading across and per- pendicular, respectively; diagonal openings if they are oriented at an angle. The variant III corresponds to the common case, where the direction of seismic waves constitutes an arbitrary angle χ with the line of layer where EK , νK ,(k = 1, 2) – Jung’s modules and Pois- son’s ratios.

The Most values correspond to grounds of flood-plain areas of rivers. Values of elastic properties may be specified by way of detailed determination of lithologic thicknesses of grounds in regions of all stations and routes of driving tunnels. If three components of the accelerogram on the sur- face are known, then to receive their modified values with a depth along the vertical line down, according −3/2 to the work of R.B. Baimakhan, we have the following where δ = arccos (−0.5q(−p/3) ), ρ – environ- formulas (Baimakhan 2002) mental density, α, β, γ – angles between the normal of the wave front and the axes of the Cartesian coordinates OXYZ. 3 DESTRUCTIVE EARTHQUAKE ACCELEROGRAM CONSTRUCTION SUBJECT TO THE GROUND ANISOTROPY The methods of reception of elastic equivalent charac- teristics for alternate isotropic strata are also available in the work of J.S. Erzhanov, Sh.M. Aitaliev and J. K. Masanov (Erzhanov et al. 1980). For transtropic (transversal-isotropic) strata, elastic constants should be calculated by using the following formulas: Table 1.
