8 CONCLUSIONS
We calculate static and dynamic displacements, accelerations
and stresses over 50 year period.
Regarding displacements, our results show that these will be
admissible and should not promote damages and difficulties on
the section of Metro Line 12 studied here.
Shear and normal stresses will increase in the future at
section of the tunnel supported by the thicker clay strata or at
section where the direction of the tunnel changes. The structure
design of these stations must account for these changes bearing
in mind that estimated stress increments in the future can be far
from negligible.

Evolution of normal stress
Normal stresses at the connection of the tunnel with the Zapata
Station increase around 30 to 40% over the 2042-2062. These
increases occur at elbow zones; especially those on soft deposits
of greater thickness (see Fig. 8).

Evolution of shear stress
The shear stresses increase around 30 to 60% for the 2042-2062
period of analysis, only in the connections supported on thicker
soft material, as are elbow 2 and Tunnel- Parque de los Venados
station zone. Shear stresses remain constant with time at other
connections upon the occurrence of seismic events (see Fig. 9).
