Journal ArticleDOI
The growth of railway ground vibration problems - A review.
David Connolly,Grzegorz P. Marecki,Georges Kouroussis,Ioannis Thalassinakis,Peter Keith Woodward +4 more
TL;DR: Analysis of a collection of technical ground-borne noise and vibration reports, detailing commercial vibration assessments undertaken at 1604 railway track sections, in 9 countries across the world, finds that railway vibration is a growing global concern, and as such, assessments have become more prevalent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time domain 3D finite element modelling of train-induced vibration at high speed
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D finite element coupled train-track model for the numerical modelling of the ground induced vibration due to the passage of a single high speed train locomotive is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field testing and analysis of high speed rail vibrations
David Connolly,Georges Kouroussis,Peter Keith Woodward,P. Alves Costa,Olivier Verlinden,Michael Forde +5 more
TL;DR: Conconnolly et al. as mentioned in this paper presented an experimental analysis of ground-borne vibration levels generated by high speed rail lines on various earthwork profiles (at-grade, embankment, cutting and overpass).
Journal ArticleDOI
Large scale international testing of railway ground vibrations across Europe
David Connolly,P. Alves Costa,Georges Kouroussis,Pedro Galvín,Peter Keith Woodward,Omar Laghrouche +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed over 1500 ground-borne vibration records, at 17 high speed rail sites, across 7 European countries and found that soil material properties are the most influential parameter that effect vibration levels while the effect of train speed is low.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimising low acoustic impedance back-fill material wave barrier dimensions to shield structures from ground borne high speed rail vibrations
TL;DR: In this paper, a geophysical investigation was conducted on a high speed railway line outside Edinburgh, Scotland to determine guidelines for the optimisation of trench dimensions, and substantial savings were found to be achievable through carefully chosen barrier dimensions.
