This paper presents a seismic response analysis of a shield tunnel connected to a vertical shaft. The main objective is to investigate the influence of the torsional effects caused by the rocking of the vertical shaft on both the dynamic response and strain response of the tunnel connected to the vertical shaft. By using a three dimensional finite element analysis considering soil nonlinearities, three models are analysed herein: A jointed model considering the tunnel-shaft junction, a shaft-only model, and a tunnel-only model. The results of the dynamic response are shown by time-history responses of displacements and strains. Defining herein the shear distorsion as the relative displacement between the tunnel crown and invert, the analytical results show that in the proximity of the tunnel-shaft junction the strain response of the tunnel lining is influenced by the shear distortion of the tunnel caused by the torsional effects of the vertical shaft rocking.
