MITIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF VIBRATIONS INDUCED BY HIGH SPEED TRAINS ON SURROUNDING BUILDINGS

Abstract

In this paper, the goal is to primarily deal with the modeling of the railway traffic induced vibrations by using discrete computer models for analyzing related wave propagation problems with soil-structure interaction effects and mitigation of building responses by installation of wave barriers. Comprehensive parametric studies including the effects of localization and backfill material of trench barrier on the screening performance have been executed.
