This covers seismic performance, deformation and failure mechanisms, good aseismic design, and effective damage assessment and restoration. It gives analytical solutions for longitudinal and transversal seismic deformation, along with performance-based restoration design and aseismic design, and a case study of Japan's Tawarayama tunnel.
