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 …

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 …

Among all the recent improvements in the railway industry, ground vibration remains an
important showstopper in metropolitan cities. In some particular cases, significant levels of …

Ground vibration is an important aspect of the environmental impact of rail traffic. Vibration
from about 2–200Hz is caused by trains moving on the ground surface or in tunnels. The …

In this paper, a numerical approach for the prediction of vibrations induced in buildings due
to railway traffic in tunnel is proposed. The numerical method is based on a sub-structuring …

The frequency range of interest for ground vibration from underground urban railways is
approximately 20 to 100Hz. For typical soils, the wavelengths of ground vibration in this …

In predictions of railway-induced vibrations, a distinction is generally made between the
quasi-static and dynamic excitation. The quasi-static excitation is related to the static …

A numerical model is presented to predict vibrations in the free field from excitation due to
metro trains in tunnels. The three-dimensional dynamic tunnel–soil interaction problem is …

This paper proposes a novel two-dimensional (2D) semi-analytical method for calculating
ground vibrations from a tunnel situated in a homogeneous half-space with an irregular …

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 …
