A　simplified　analytical　solution　for　seismic　response　of　tunnel　cross　section　in　horizontally　layered　ground　subjected　to　oblique　incidence　of　SH　wave　is　deduced　in　this　paper.　The　proposed　analytical　solution　consists　of　two　main　steps:　free-field　response　in　layered　field　and　tunnel　response.　The　free　field　responses　of　the　layered　ground　are　obtained　by　one-dimensional　finite　element　method　in　time　domain.　The　tunnel　lining　is　treated　as　a　thick-wall　cylinder　to　calculate　the　tunnel　response,　which　subject　to　free　field　stress.　The　analytical　solutions　are　verified　by　comparing　with　the　dynamic　numerical　results　of　two-dimensional　ground-lining　interaction　analysis　under　earthquake　in　some　common　situations,　which　have　a　good　agreement.　Then,　the　appropriate　range　of　the　proposed　analytical　solution　is　analyzed,　considering　the　height　of　the　layered　ground,　the　wavelength　and　incident　angle　of　SH　wave.　Finally,　by　using　the　analytical　solutions,　the　effects　of　the　ground　material,　burial　depth　of　the　tunnel,　and　lining　thickness　and　the　slippage　effect　at　the　ground-lining　interface　on　the　seismic　response　of　tunnels　are　investigated.　The　proposed　solution　could　serve　as　a　useful　tool　for　seismic　analysis　and　design　of　tunnels　in　layered　ground.
