This paper provides a review of various investigations concerned with vibration isolation
using trench barriers and factors affecting their performance, also extracts design …

Due to the expansion of cities through megaprojects and the increase in populations in large
cities, many buildings are constructed beside train tracks. Trains passing nearby buildings …

This study focuses on the use of open trench wave barriers to prevent undesired high-speed
train-induced ground vibrations. A series of full-scale passive isolation tests are performed in …

The dynamic responses of subgrade bed layers are the key factors affecting the service
performance of a heavy‐haul railway. A 3D train‐track‐subgrade interaction finite element …

The high traffic density of railway line causes ballasted track to be extremely busy, and thus
it is particularly important to improve the efficiency during railway maintenance. The …

This study adopts 3D-FEM with numerical and statistical approaches to analyze the dynamic
response of a viaduct-ground system with an open trench during maglev train operation. In …

A coupled model of a track-layered ground-in-filled trench system is developed to
investigate the isolation effects of an in-filled trench on reducing vibrations generated by …

A new train-induced vibration isolation measure of rubber-concrete alternating superposition
in-filled trench is presented in this paper. For analyzing the vibration isolation effect of the …

A low solar absorption coating for rail application is developed to reduce the peak rail
temperature and buckling risk in summer months. The proposed coating system provides a …
