Vibrations induced by trains

چکیده
This work describes a set of research studies that were made with the intent of studying vibrations created by the circulation of trains. In the last decades, the development of high-speed trains emphasized the need to closely monitor this phenomenon. The purpose of this study is to provide a state-of-the-art about data acquisition process. It also presents a new experience, including important concepts in certain areas such as analysis of signals, seismic geotechnical engineering and track engineering. A field study with the purpose of measuring vibrations induced by train circulation was carried out in July of 2009 and took place at Gare do Oriente (train station located in Lisbon). The next step was to develop a whole set of analysis tools in Matlab, meticulously incorporating digital filters for signal processing.

Performance of Shred Tire Mixed with Railway Subgrade in Reduction of Train Induced Vibrations
In this study, the performance of shred tire mixed with railway subgrade is evaluated to reduce environmental vibrations caused by trains’ passage. Since incorporating the Shred Tire seeds in soil affects on its shear strength and deformability parameters so, the first stage of the study was allocated to conducting a series of laboratory tests such as the unconfined compression test, and CBR an...
متن کاملResponse Spectra of Structures under Subway Induced Vibrations
Passing underground trains induce vibrations transmitted to the ground surface and the nearby structures. Ordinarily, these vibrations do not result in structural damage but can harm nonstructural elements and disturb the occupants. These effects are more pronounced when evaluating buildings like hospitals, laboratories, museums, etc., and their assessment is an important design need. To respon...
متن کاملEffect of Rail Corrugation on the Amount of Train Induced Vibrations near a Historical Building
The evaluation and control of the trains induced vibrations needs even more attention in the case of underground tracks which passes near to monuments and historical sites. The rail corrugations which occur due to the wheels’ impulse loads during the operation period of underground railway tracks, usually amplify the ground borne noise and vibration. In the current study, the mentioned phenomen...
متن کاملAnalysis of Structural Vibrations due to Passage of Underground Trains
During the last decades, the railway traffic in densely populated areas has increased. At the same time, passenger trains have become faster and freight trains have become heavier. Consequently, trains are an increasing source of ground vibration, which may be a nuisance to people, buildings and sensitive equipment. In this research, a two-dimensional dynamic system, including underground train...
متن کاملOn the theory of railway-induced ground vibrations
In the present paper, the theory of generation of ground vibrations by moving train is considered. The theory takes into account contribution of each sleeper of the track subjected to the action of all wheel axles. Mechanical properties of the track and parameters of train and soil (including static contact nonlinearity of track-soil system) are taken into account. It is shown that generated gr...
