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 ... -
The fictitious force method for efficient calculation of vibration from a tunnel embedded in a multi-layered half-space
M.F.M., Hussein; François, S.; Schevenels, M.; Hunt, H.E.M.; Talbot, J.P.; Degrande, G.... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2014 , Article)This paper presents an extension of the Pipe-in-Pipe (PiP) model for calculating vibrations from underground railways that allows for the incorporation of a multi-layered half-space geometry. The model is based on the ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
