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 …

The prediction of train-induced vibration in buildings constructed above the subway is a
challenging problem due to its sophisticated system and time-consuming calculation. This …

In urban rail transit, it is important to reduce the train-induced vibration on ambient
environment. To achieve this goal, a new elastic side-supporting long sleeper damping track …

More and more cities consider to build superstructures over metro depots to
comprehensively exploit the air space. However, metro train operations into and out of …

This work presents a simplified method to evaluate building shaking due to arbitrary base
excitations, and an example application to railway problems. The model requires minimal …

To improve the low-frequency vibration reduction effect of a steel spring floating slab track
(FST), nonlinear quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) vibration isolators composed of positive stiffness …

The effective control of low-frequency vibrations induced by subway operation remains a
problem, but wave impeding blocks (WIBs) have the potential to solve this issue. To …

This paper proposes a new efficient three-dimensional (3D) method to predict the vertical
building vibration generated by trains running in tunnels in a multi-layered half-space. The …

This study proposes an efficient prediction model for the vibration generated by
underground railways. The proposed model is based on an analytical approach for a tunnel …
