The communication shows an alternative for introducing soil-structure interaction in the analysis of cut-and-cover tunnels. An uncoupled method is illustrated through two examples representative of the situations found in practice. The main features of each case are presented and compared. The ultimate limit state behavior and the ductility of these structures are finally discussed.
