Mitigation of railway-induced vibration by using subgrade stiffening
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Railway-induced ground vibration is often associated with sites with soft ground. Stiffening of the subgrade beneath the railway track is one particular measure that has potential to reduce the vibration level at such ...
Reducing railway-induced ground-borne vibration by using open trenches and soft-filled barriers
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
A trench can act as a barrier to ground vibration and is a potential mitigation measure for low frequency vibration induced by surface railways. However, to be effective at very low frequencies the depth required becomes ...
