Based on the finite element analysis method, a three-dimensional finite element model for utility tunnel-soil structure interaction simulation was established, and the dynamic response character- istics of the stepped double-layer multi-warehouse integrated utility tunnel under non-uniform seismic stimulation were investigated. Through modal analysis, the natural vibration frequency and deforma- tion characteristics of the stepped double-layer multi-warehouse integrated utility tunnel with three joint forms of cast-in-place, flat and tongue-and-groove were obtained. The dynamic response of the utility tunnel was calculated for the entire tunnel, tunnel body and joints under the non-uniform excitation of the small earthquake (0.05g), medium earthquake (0.1g) and large earthquake (0.2g). The result shows that: for the three kinds of joint types, the torsional shear failure occurred first at the joint, and the stress level at the joint of the utility tunnel was obviously higher than that of the utility tunnel body,of which the tongue-and-groove joint was particularly obvious; Under the non-uniform seismic excita- tion, the response time history curves of the points on both sides of the utility tunnel joints showed very obvious inconsistency in response. The dynamic responses of the three types of joints were mainly transverse (X) and vertical (Y) vibrations, and supplemented by axial (Z) vibrations. The displace- ment along the roof axis of the utility tunnel increased gradually with the increase of the seismic force, and there was an obvious mutation of displacement at the joints of the flat and cast-in-place utility tun- nel. The mutation was mainly in the transverse direction. The displacement distribution curve was con- tinuous and has nearly no mutation for the tongue-and-groove joint because of its good integrity. There was obvious stress concentration at the joints of the utility tunnel. The stress concentration phenome- non of cast-in-place and mouth joints mainly appeared at the corner, and that of the tongue-and-groove joints mainly appeared at the mortise, tenon and corner. Cast-in-place and flat-mouth joints showed "re- verse bell mouth" deformation and up-and-down displacement. The tongue-and-groove joints illustrat- ed nearly no up-and-down dislocation except a higher stress level because of its good integrity.
