Ground-borne noise and vibration from railway lines can cause human distress/annoyance,
and also negatively affect real estate property values. Therefore this paper analyses 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 …

Wheel defects can induce damage to the railway tracks, increasing considerable
maintenance costs for both railway administrations and rolling stock operators. This paper …

Concrete slab railway tracks typically have higher initial capital costs yet lower operational
costs in comparison to ballasted tracks. One reason for the elevated operational costs on …

The gradual deterioration of train wheels can increase the risk of failure and lead to a higher
rate of track deterioration, resulting in less reliable railway systems with higher maintenance …

Railway tracks undergo plastic settlement when subject to repeated train loading. This
occurs differentially along the track rather than in a uniform manner, and the profile is a key …

Due to the increasing demand for safer and faster rail transport, train wheelsets operating
under high axle loads require more careful and reliable inspections and maintenance …

This paper provides new insights into the characteristics and uncertainties in railway ground-
borne vibration prediction. It analyses over 1500 ground-borne vibration records, at 17 high …

The present paper focuses on the experimental validation of a numerical approach
previously proposed by the authors for the prediction of vibrations inside buildings due to …

Vibrations induced by underground railway traffic have been receiving special attention from
the technical and scientific communities, and different models for their prediction can be …
