This paper is a review of the effect of vehicle characteristics on ground-and track borne-
vibrations from railways. It combines traditional theory with modern thinking and uses a …

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 …

Metro depots are where subway trains are parked and where maintenance is carried out.
They usually occupy the largest ground areas in metro projects. Due to land utilization …

Over-track buildings in Chinese metro depots have recently been designed to accommodate
the rapid urbanization and massive construction of urban rail transit systems. However, train …

The environmental effects of ground-borne vibrations generated due to localised railway
defects is a growing concern in urban areas. Frequency domain modelling approaches are …

Railway local irregularities are a growing source of ground-borne vibration and can cause
negative environmental impacts, particularly in urban areas. Therefore, this paper analyses …

Railway-induced ground vibrations can cause negative effects to people/structures located
in urban areas. One of the main sources of these vibrations is from the large vehicle forces …

Railway induced vibrations can be amplified or attenuated as they propagate through the
foundations, floors and spans of nearby buildings. This change in vibration level, known as …

Nowadays, damage potentially caused by passing train in dense cities is of increasing
concern and restricts improvement to the interconnection of various public transport offers …

During the operation of urban subway rail transit systems, vibrations are generated that
transmitted through the soil, induce vibrations in nearby buildings. The transmission of …
