2. 1. Countermeasures against railway ground and track vibrations

   Author : Robert Hildebrand; KTH; []
   Keywords : ground vibration; vibration screen; track vibration; railway vibration; seismic barrier;

   Abstract : Railway track and ground vibrations are considered, with anemphasis on methods of mitigation ("countermeasures"), forapplication to wayside disturbance problems.Original field measurements from two sites in Sweden, aswell as borrowed measurements from Norway, provide vibrationresults at many points on the track, on and underneath theground surface, for a variety of trains, both with and withoutcountermeasures in-place.

4. 2. On Ground and Structural Vibrations Related to Railway Traffic

   Author : Johan O. Jonsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave propagation; wave field excitation; soil structure interaction; structural vibration; ground vibration; traffic vibration;

   Abstract : The continuous development and integration of railway infrastructure, especially within urban areas, can cause ground and building vibrations to reach levels that bring discomfort to people. The growing risk of damage to buildings located in areas prone to ground vibration should not be underestimated. READ MORE

5. 3. Vibration transfer process during vibratory sheet pile driving : from source to soil

   Author : Fanny Deckner; Staffan Hintze; Kenneth Viking; Steinar Nordal; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ground vibrations; sheet piles; vibratory driving; vibration transfer process; instrumentation system; field tests; numerical modelling; vibration prediction; markvibrationer; spont; vibrodrivning; vibrationsöverföringsprocessen; instrumenteringssystem; fältförsök; numerisk modellering; vibrationsprognosticering; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

   Abstract : Vibratory driven sheet piles are a cost-effective retaining wall structure, and in coming decades the continued use of this method will be crucial for minimising costs within the construction sector. However, vibratory driven sheet piles are a source of ground vibrations, which may harm structures or induce disturbance. READ MORE

6. 4. Ground vibrations due to pile and sheet pile driving : influencing factors, predictions and measurements

   Author : Fanny Deckner; Staffan Hintze; Kenneth Viking; Sigurdur Erlingsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ground vibration; pile; sheet pile; prediction; markvibrationer; påle; spont; prediktion;

   Abstract : Ground vibrations due to pile driving are part of a complex process. Vibration is generated from the pile driver to the pile. As the pile interacts with the surrounding soil, vibrations are transferred at the pile-soil interface. The vibration propagates through the ground and interacts with structures, both above ground and underground. READ MORE

7. 5. On the Modelling of Train Induced Ground Vibrations with Analytical Methods

   Author : Anders Karlström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ground vibrations; train; wave propagation; dynamic flexibility; trench; railway track; vibration isolation; wave barrier; soil-structure interaction;

   Abstract : A novel analytical approach to model train induced ground vibrations is proposed. Integral transform solutions are combined with series solutions to obtain fast numericalalgorithms, where a particular designed boundary condition for finite regions is seen to enable the solution procedure.
