ABSTRACT
The damage caused to underground concrete railway structures by the Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake has been investigated and the observations compared with the results of nonlinear frame analysis. The major damage was to cut-and-cover tunnels in and around three stations on the Kobe Express Railway. The first paper in this series covered the damage to Daikai Station. This paper now gives the results for two further locations- Sannomiya and Kamisawa Stations- where the damage was found to be caused by shear fracture of the center pillars induced by large shear deformations in the nearby ground. The numerical analysis backs up this conclusion.(AU)
