Numerical simulation method for Surrounding rock stability analysis of surge chamber under seismic c 　　Abstract: Underground engineering has broad prospects for development, but its surrounding rock stability is related to the project construction security as well as operation security. In this paper, quasi-static method is adopted, and based on the surge chamber at the Liuping Hydropower Station, the overall three-dimensional model is established to analyses the surrounding rock stability of Surge chamber in complex geological areas under seismic conditions. The compute results show that, the overall stability of the surge chamber surrounding rock and the lining structure is good, but the safety factor near the left side wall and right spandrel is small. So it is necessary to take the key reinforcement measure and pay the key attention in the construction. 　　Key words: Numerical simulation; Surge chamber; Stability; Surrounding rock; Seismic 　　1 Introduction 　　The Osaka Kobe earthquake of Japanese in 1995 and the 1999 chi-chi earthquake and so on had caused heavy damage to part underground engineering. In 71 tunnel projects with rock grounds that are affected by the earthquake fluctuation in places such as American California, Alaska, Japan and so on, there are cracking until collapsing seal happened in 42 examples. It’s shown that underground structure earthquake stability is directly related to underground chamber deformation and failure evolution under seismic load [1]. 　　Chinas water resources are mainly concentrated in the southwest, and a lot of Hydropower Station are constructed. There are all located in mountain gorge areas with strong new tectonic movement, extremely unstable geological environment, in performance of the strong seismic activity and frequent landslides, avalanches, and other geological disasters. Diversion development method is adopted in many large-scale Hydropower projects, and a large number of surge chamber have been built. Sur
