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 …

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 …

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 …

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 first part of the paper includes a brief presentation of a 2.5 D FEM-BEM model,
developed by the authors, which is able to lead with problems of vibrations induced by traffic …

This paper outlines an experimental analysis of ground-borne vibration levels generated by
high speed rail lines on various earthwork profiles (at-grade, embankment, cutting and …

Track irregularities generated during the running service of high-speed railways aggravate
vibrations of the track and the surrounding ground environment. To better understand the …

This review paper deals with the dynamic response of road pavements to moving loads on
their surface. The road pavement can be modeled as a beam, a plate, or the top layer of a …

Concrete slab railway tracks typically have higher initial capital costs yet lower operational
costs in comparison to ballasted tracks. One reason for the elevated operational costs on …

Railway tracks undergo plastic settlement when subject to repeated train loading. This
occurs differentially along the track rather than in a uniform manner, and the profile is a key …
