The problem of dynamic responses of partially sealed lining with a deep buried circular tunnel in the saturated transversely isotropic fractional derivative viscoelastic soil is studied in the frequency domain. Regarding the soil skeleton as transversely isotropic viscoelastic medium with fractional derivative constitutive behavior because of the soils have the anisotropic characteristics in the long-term deposition, and based on the theory of saturated porous medium and elastic, the analytical expressions of the displacement, stress and pore water pressure of saturated transversely isotropic viscoelastic soil and lining subjected to the harmonic load are respectively derived by the stress coordination on the inner boundary of lining and the stress and displacement continuous at the interface between soil and lining. The parameter for saturated viscoelastic soil and lining under the three conditions of saturated classical elastic soil, saturated fractional derivative viscoelastic soil and saturated classical viscoelastic soil is investigated. It is reveal that the influences of the elastic modulus of transversely isotropic surface and the lining thickness on the system responses are relation to the order of fractional derivative and viscosity of the soil skeleton; the system has obvious resonance phenomena when the permeability coefficient is small. In addition, the dynamic responses of the partially lining have obvious difference in the three conditions.
