Abstract
Though it was generally agreed that the seismic damage of underground works was less than that of ground buildings, some underground structures were found to be damaged seriously in several past strong earthquakes. The damage mechanism of earthquake and seismic tsunami to coastal underground works are analyzed, and the characteristic and position of damage are studied. Lastly, methods to fortify coastal underground works are proposed. It is concluded that the damage can be reduced to the least by strengthening the structure of underground works in proper ways and improving the prediction of earthquake and tsunami.
