Based　on　the　Jinjishan　tunnel　in　Fuhou　2nd　ring　road,　the　seismic　responses　of　large　section　tunnel　under　unsymmetrical　loading　with　shallow　cover　are　well　studied　through　numerical　simulations.The　responses　of　ground　acceleration　and　the　lining　contact　pressure　are　further　compared　with　the　test　results　from　shaking　table　experiment.The　amplification　coefficients　of　peak　horizontal　acceleration(PHA)　increase　logarithmically　with　the　elevation　along　ground　central　axis　plane,　and　increase　exponentially　with　the　elevation　along　slope　free　face.With　the　increasing　of　peak　ground　motion,　the　PHA　amplification　coefficients　at　the　lower　part　remain　unchanged,　while　the　PHA　amplification　coefficients　at　the　middle　and　upper　part　tend　to　decrease　linearly.The　elevation　effect　reflected　by　numerical　simulations　coincides　with　those　results　from　shaking　table　tests.The　distribution　of　contact　pressure　along　lining　perimeter　is　unsymmetrical　due　to　the　terrain　slope.The　unsymmetrical　loading　effect　is　intensified　with　the　increasing　of　peak　ground　motion.On　the　scenario　of　large　ground　motion　excitation,　the　maximum　lining　contact　pressure　against　the　slope　reaches　3times　as　the　static　condition,　while　the　minimum　lining　contact　pressure　towards　the　slope　reduces　to　zero　almost.Comparing　to　the　test　result　from　shaking　table　test,　however,　the　lining　contact　pressure　from　numerical　simulations　may　be　over-estimated　due　to　the　elasticity　assumption　of　lining　structure.　©　2021,　The　Editorial　Board　of　Journal　of　Basic　Science　and　Engineering.　All　right　reserved.
