Vulnerability analysis is an important method for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction research in the field of tunnel engineering. Firstly, a detailed overview of the research history and current status of tunnel seismic vulnerability at home and abroad was provided; Secondly, the main methods for analyzing the seismic vulnerability of tunnels at home and abroad were summarized, and the practical applicability of various methods was summarized; Subsequently, the steps for evaluating the seismic vulnerability of tunnels were proposed, and three key contents in establishing theoretical vulnerability curves using numerical simulation as the main method were discussed: (1) Input parameter determination; (2) Classification of destructive states; (3) Calculation of relevant uncertainty parameters; Finally, point out some urgent problems and future research directions in this field. By summarizing the existing studies on the seismic vulnerability of tunnels at home and abroad, the results show that the seismic vulnerability analysis of tunnels can reflect the performance of tunnels under seismic loading by considering the relevant uncertainty factors, which is conducive to the future risk assessment and loss estimation, and is of great significance to the development of performance-based seismic design of tunnels.
