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 …

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 …

Higher train speeds and heavier axle loads trigger elevated stresses and vibrations in the
track, potentially increasing track deterioration rates and maintenance costs. Alternative …

The fast growth of railway transport pushed by its sustainability requires all railway
stakeholders to work together to minimise any possible drawbacks that might slow down this …

Differential settlement is inevitable in soil subgrade which has a direct impact on the service
performance of ballastless track systems and the running quality of high-speed trains. In …

This paper gives new insights into non-linear subgrade behaviour on high speed railway
track dynamics. First, a novel semi-analytical model is developed which allows for soil …

High-speed trains can induce significant amplification of dynamic responses of components
in railway tracks especially when the train travels at the so-called 'critical speed'. Based on a …

Many conveniences and efficiencies have been brought to the passengers with the rapid
growth and application of High Speed Train (HST), especially in China. However, the …

High speed railway track and earthwork structures experience varied levels of displacement
amplification depending upon train speed. Protecting against amplified track deflections is …

This paper presents a field measurement of the train-induced vibration in the northwest
Shanghai, where Shanghai Metro Line 11 crosses under Bei**g-Shanghai Railway. Ground …
