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 …

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 …

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 …

Train-induced vibration prediction of the over-track buildings requires acceptable both
efficiency and accuracy in the preliminary construction stage. To ensure accuracy, soil …

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 …

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 …

This paper provides new insights into the characteristics and uncertainties in railway ground-
borne vibration prediction. It analyses over 1500 ground-borne vibration records, at 17 high …

There is concern regarding the long-term vibration effects caused by metro trains on historic
buildings. In this paper, the impact of metro train-induced vibrations on the Bell Tower in …
