To　provide　a　quick　and　easy　calculation　for　the　seismic　design　loads　of　tunnel　lining,　the　simplified　analytical　solutions　are　widely　employed　in　preliminary　tunnel　design.　So　it　is　very　important　to　assess　the　accuracy　and　applicability　of　these　analytical　solutions.　In　this　study,　the　time-domain　finite　element　method　is　adopted　to　verify　the　accuracy　of　four　simplified　analytical　solutions　for　different　types　of　surrounding　soil　or　rock　and　different　tunnel　depths.　Through　the　numerical　validation,　it　can　be　concluded　that:　the　analytical　solutions　by　Wang,　Bobet　and　Park　generate　the　same　thrusts;　with　the　increasing　of　flexibility　ratio,　the　error　deceases　for　shadow　tunnels,　and　decreases　first　and　then　increases　for　deep　tunnels;　the　Bobet＇s　and　Park＇s　solutions　generate　the　same　bending　moments,　more　accurate　than　Wang＇s　solution;　the　error　of　Bobet＇s　and　Park＇s　solutions　decreases　with　the　increasing　of　flexibility　ratio;　the　errors　of　Bobet＇s　and　Park＇s　solutions　are　lower　than　15%　for　tunnel＇s　internal　forces　when　the　tunnel　depth　is　over　10　m,　5　m,　5　m,　1　m　and　1　m,　respectively　for　soft　soil,　medium　soft　soil,　medium　hard　soil,　hard　soil　or　soft　rock　and　hard　rock.　Copyright　©2020　Engineering　Mechanics.　All　rights　reserved.
