摘要：Since many cases of structural damage in past earthquakes have been attributed to strong vertical ground motion, our understanding of vertical seismic load effects and their influence on seismic performance of subway station structure is limited. In this study, the Daikai subway station is taken as a typical example. A two-dimensional finite element model of both soil and structure was established using finite element software ABAQUS. Two input approaches of ground motion are considered, including the horizontal component alone and the vertical and horizontal motions simultaneously. Four groups of ground motion records are selected according to the site type of this station and scaled to the strong intensity which can make the station damage. Results show that the vertical seismic load increases the axial force of the column component apparently, while horizontal seismic load has little effect on axial compression ratio.
