Abstract The intersection structure, composed of twin shield tunnels and a transverse passage, is ubiquitous in the metros around the world. However, the dynamic characteristics of this kind of intersection structure have not been studied a lot yet. By carrying out the corresponding model tests and numerical simulations, the dynamic characteristics of this kind of intersection structure are studied in this paper, which is very helpful for the determination of the ground vibration from this kind of underground structure. The results show that the vibration of the transverse passage is more severe than the main tunnel, manifested that the frequency response function (FRF) of the transverse passage has greater magnitudes than that of the main tunnel at the locations with the same distance from the vibration source. The peak frequencies of the acceleration responses at different locations of the intersection structure under the moving train load are all located in the frequency band 44.9–56.1 Hz where the corresponding 1/3 octave band spectra of FRF have the largest values in the considered frequency band 31.5–250 Hz, indicating that the natural frequencies of the intersection structure in the frequency band 44.9~56.1 Hz have significant influences on its acceleration responses below 250 Hz induced by the moving train.
