Field testing and analysis of high speed rail vibrations

Analysis of Vibrations and Infrastructure Deterioration Caused by High-Speed Rail Transit

The effects of a heavy travelling load on the soil medium and on the adjacent structures were studied. Five soil profiles were analyzed, three from sites in Southern California and two from well documented sites in Europe. It was found that the material damping in the soil layers does not affect attenuation, but rather radiation damping is the most significant. Four of the Five soil profiles st...

Dynamic Analysis of High Speed Rail-Vehicle Collisions

In the event of a collision between a traveling, high speed train and a vehicle, the scale of human fatality and property damage can increase substantially if the train derails from its track after impact. Hence, it is important to identify the conditions and factors that may potentially lead to derailment in the event of a train-vehicle collision incident at a highway rail grade crossing. This...
