In this study, the effect of the high-speed train vibration loading on an adjacent damaged tunnel is investigated. Three sets are established to study the effects of the different vibration loadings on the tunnel lining considering the vertical excitation force of the CRH (China Railway High-speed) train. An expression of excitation force for the train vibration loading is applied to simulate the interaction force between wheel and rail, which is set with high-, medium-, and low-frequency responses, and reflects the influences of driving comfort, additional dynamic load, and rail corrugations. The eigenvalue analysis and spring damping absorbing boundary are applied in the numerical simulation. In addition, a quantitative criterion is selected as the allowable vibration peak velocity for the cracked structure. The analysis of the vibration velocity, dynamic deformation, and acceleration of the cracking region show that the secondary lining of this damaged tunnel in set 1 basically has a higher vibration response than that in set 2 for the closer running track. The most adverse working condition with the greatest impact on the lining structure is that two CRH trains simultaneously passing through the cross section in set 3.
