This paper is a review of the effect of vehicle characteristics on ground-and track borne-
vibrations from railways. It combines traditional theory with modern thinking and uses a …

Beam on elastic foundation theory is widely employed when studying railway track
behaviour, for applications such as track dynamics, and noise and vibration. At a basic level …

A three dimensional numerical model is presented capable of modelling the propagation
and transmission of ground vibration in the vicinity of high speed railways. It is used to …

Abstract Model testing in laboratory, as an effective alternative to field measurement,
provides valuable data to understand railway׳ s dynamic behaviors under train moving …

Principal stress rotation induced by moving loads from trains significantly influences railway
track settlement accumulation. The stationary cyclic loading commonly adopted to study …

The violent vibration and excessive settlement of trackbeds under high-speed train moving
loads are the main problems of ballasted tracks encountered in practice, which limits the rise …

Vehicle traffic loading appears to contribute significantly to long-term settlement beneath
highways, airport runways, and metro lines in China. Wheel loading imposes cycles in both …

In certain field conditions, the soil element is subjected to cyclic stress paths with both
principal stress rotation and deviatoric stress variation. To better understand the response of …

Traffic loading causes the rotation of principal stress axis and generates a heart-shaped
stress path in the deviatoric stress space. Using dynamic hollow cylinder apparatus (DHCA) …

A long-term issue that has hampered the efficient operation of heavy-haul tracks is the
migration of fluidized fines from the shallow soft subgrade to the overlying ballast, ie, mud …
