Since underground reinforced concrete (RC) structures interact with the surrounding soil medium, the behavior of the interfacial zone between the RC structure and the surrounding medium of the underground RC structure should be considered for accurate seismic analysis. In this paper, an averaged constitutive model of concrete and reinforcing bars for the RC structure and the path-dependent Ohsaki’s model for the soil are applied, and an elasto-plastic interface model which considers the thickness of the interface is proposed for seismic analysis of underground RC structures. A finite element analysis program is developed and verified by predicting both static and dynamic behaviors of underground RC structures. Then, the effects of the interface on the behavior of underground RC structures are analyzed. The effect of stiffness of the RC structure due to different reinforcement ratios of underground RC box structures to the behavior of the structures is also analyzed. Finally, failure mechanisms of underground RC structure under seismic action are simulated through seismic analysis of an underground RC station structure.
