A comparison of ground vibration due to ballasted and slab tracks
Ntotsios E.; Thompson D.J.; Hussein M.F.M. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)With the development of non-ballasted track forms (often referred to as slab tracks) over the few last decades, it is important to understand their behaviour with respect to ground-borne vibration compared with the traditional ... -
Changes of perceived unevenness caused by in-track vibration countermeasures in slab track
Verachtert, R.; Hunt, H. E.M.; Hussein, M. F.M.; Degrande, G. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)This paper investigates the relation between unevenness at different locations in a railway track and the unevenness perceived by a train, for the particular case of a slab track. The different types of unevenness considered ... -
Mitigation of railway-induced vibration by using subgrade stiffening
Thompson, D.J.; Jiang, J.; Toward, M.G.R.; Hussein, M.F.M.; Dijckmans, A.; Coulier, P.; Degrande, G.; Lombaert, G.... more authors ... less authors ( 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 ... -
Modeling and Parametric Study of the Reanchorage of Ruptured Tendons in Bonded Posttensioned Concrete
Abdelatif, A. O.; Owen, J. S.; Hussein, M. F.M. ( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2017 , Article)The contribution of ruptured tendons to the residual strength of bonded posttensioned concrete structures is currently assessed based on pretensioned concrete bond models. However, this approach is inaccurate due to the ... -
Modelling the degradation of vibration characteristics of reinforced concrete beams due to flexural damage
Hamad, W. I.; Owen, J. S.; Hussein, M. F. M. ( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2015 , Article)This paper presents an improved crack model incorporating non-linearity of flexural damage in concrete to reproduce changes in vibration properties of cracked reinforced concrete beams. A reinforced concrete beam model ... -
Reducing railway-induced ground-borne vibration by using open trenches and soft-filled barriers
Thompsona, D.J.; Jiang, J.; Toward, M. G. R.; Hussein, M. F. M.; Ntotsios, E.; Dijckmans, A.; Coulier, P.; Lombaert, G.; Degrande, G.... more authors ... less authors ( 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 ... -
The dynamic interaction effects of railway tunnels: Crossrail and the Grand Central Recording Studios
Brookes D.; Hamad W.I.; Talbot J.P.; Hunt H.E.M.; Hussein M.F.M. ( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2018 , Article)In cities around the world, underground railways offer an environmentally friendly solution to society's increasing demand for mass transport. However, they are often constructed close to sensitive buildings, where the ...
