Vibration and noise aspects play a relevant role in the lifetime and comfort of urban areas
and their residents. Among the different sources, the one coming from the rail transit system …

This paper reviews, synthesises and benchmarks new understandings relating to railway
vibrations. Firstly, the effect of vibrations on passenger comfort is evaluated, followed by its …

There is a great need to develop rail networks over long distances and within cities as more
sustainable transport options. However, noise and vibration are seen as a negative …

Train-induced vibration prediction of the over-track buildings requires acceptable both
efficiency and accuracy in the preliminary construction stage. To ensure accuracy, soil …

The railway track dynamic behavior shows intense characteristics in a wide frequency
domain, which plays an major role in the generation of wheel-rail rolling noise and the …

A trench can act as a barrier to ground vibration and is a potential mitigation measure for low
frequency vibration induced by surface railways. However, to be effective at very low …

Railway-induced vibrations can cause significant environmental issues. This paper
proposes an efficient analytical method to investigate the mitigation of railway-induced …

In this study, we propose a novel coupled periodic tunnel–soil analytical model for predicting
ground-borne vibrations caused by vibration sources in tunnels. The problem of a …

Structures in the vicinity of elevated, surface and subway metro trains are subjected to
induced vibrations generated due to train movements. Nowadays PV (Photo-Voltaic) …

A numerical model is presented for the ground-borne vibration produced by trains running in
tunnels. The model makes use of the assumption that the geometry and material properties …
