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 …

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 …

A field measurement of ground vibration was performed on the Beijing− Shanghai high-
speed railway in China. In this paper, the experimental results of vertical ground vibration …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
