Based　on　the　plaster　model　of　a　three-story　and　three-span　subway　station　on　liquefiable　ground,　a　series　of　shaking　table　tests　on　the　seismic　failure　characteristics　were　conducted　under　the　main　shock　and　aftershock　ground　motions.　With　respect　to　the　foundation,　the　following　characteristics　were　discussed　including　the　acceleration,　dynamic　pore　water　pressure,　and　earthquake-induced　settlement　of　ground　surface.　The　model　subway　station　structure　was　concerned　with　the　following　features　including　the　acceleration,　the　relative　horizontal　displacement,　the　strain,　dynamic　soil　pressure　on　the　side　wall　and　its　spatial　effects.　According　to　the　tests,　the　sand　and　water　spewing　phenomenon,　the　earthquake-induced　settlement　and　ground　crack　were　successfully　reproduced.　Meanwhile,　the　floating　of　structure,　member　cracks　and　local　damages　were　observed　during　the　tests.　Under　the　main　shock　ground　motion,　there　appears　a　longer　liquefaction　duration　time　and　the　trends　of　pore　pressure　dissipation　are　not　obvious,　and　the　acceleration　amplification　effect　of　the　soil　is　decreased.　The　foundation　soil　shows　a　remarkable　shock　absorption　and　concentration　effect　with　low　frequency.　Under　the　aftershock　ground　motion,　the　dissipation　of　pore　pressure　in　foundation　soil　becomes　obvious.　The　peak　acceleration　of　the　structure　increases　with　the　height.　The　dynamic　soil　pressure　on　the　side　walls　is　smaller　in　the　middle　and　larger　at　both　ends.　In　addition,　the　interior　column　achieves　the　maximum　value　of　peak　dynamic　strain.　The　peak　strain　and　damage　degree　on　both　sides　of　interior　column　exhibit　an　＇S＇　type　distribution　along　the　height.　The　seismic　responses　of　both　the　foundation　soil　and　the　model　subway　station　structure　exhibit　a　remarkable　spatial　effect.
