Property development along railway lines is a critical issue at present. Because various railway lines exist in most large cities, there are numerous properties and open spaces to be developed for communities associated with these lines. The active development of railway properties can be a means to resolve housing shortage problems in cities. In this first part of this paper, noise and vibration levels of an artificial area of land and apartment complex are measured and evaluated to derive a design strategy for vibration reduction purposes.

Recently. development of a subway as a public transport has been increased rapidly. Therefore, large noise, which induced from vehicle itself as well as frictions between rails and train, may inflict a considerable damage to the adjacent structure and cause discomfort to neighboring residents. Nevertheless, adequate design guidelines to reduce outdoor noise are not yet established. The present work carried out a survey on the influence of outdoor subway noise using questionnaires. Also or noise measurements levels in those are as were performed.

Subway stations have a characteristic that the facilities in the ceiling should be checked, replaced and expanded frequently. The new installation of supports (steel anchors) for new facilities and workers moving-around in the ceiling result in the damage in the ceiling finish material and concrete structure which also result in construction cost increase. In addition, the noise, vibration and dust generated during the work harm the station environment. There are civil complaints on these which give difficulty to ceiling works. Accordingly, this study suggests a ceiling frame construction method that considers the convenience, economy and efficiency of ceiling work by improving the support installation method for facilities in ceiling.

In this study we propose noise energy harvesting for green infrastructure development. In this regard, infrastructures such as railroad, subway, and road are taken into consideration as sources of noise which provides energy through certain wave forms. As the need of recycling noise energy became reasonable due to the increase of infrastructure usage, the capacity and property of our noise energy generating device, which uses electromagnetic induction for electricity generation, are analysed in this paper. Consequently, the outcomes of this experiment show the fact that maximum electricity is generated from the device at a specific point of noise frequency, and the relation between air pressure caused by noise and the electricity generated by the device is in a specific proportional form either linear or non-linear. The major points of developing noise energy generating device in order to apply it into social infrastructure are discussed in this paper as well.

On the Seoul sub-way tunnel works 7-20 site, Cautious blasting works were so effectivelly carried out. The vibration record were under 0.3cm/sec and blasting noise was under 80dB. Which was measured at the ground of house. At a result cautious blasting works under above allowable value was not influenced the structure of house and living conditions. On the architectural survey, They were some hair crack on the wall and floors but this was not a crack from blasting works.

On the Seoul Sub-way Tunnel works (8-6 site ). Cautious blasting works were so effectivelly tarried out the vibration record were under 0.3cm /sec and blasting noise was under 75dB which was measured at the ground of house. As a result cautious blasting works under above allowable value was not influenced the structure of house and living. On the architectural survey, There were some hair crack on the wall and floors but this was not a crack from balsting work.

The vibration resulting from track-train interaction is transmitted through the tunnel structure and the surrounding ground to adjacent buildings. This paper provides a review of the ground vibration propagation mechanism and the theoretical isolation effectiveness of each transit systems. Moreover, predictive vibration values estimated from various models are compared with measured results performed in Seoul Metropolitan Subways and evaluate the applicability of those models.

The object of this study is to reduce the subway noise by the low noise wheel. The vibro-acoustic reduction was predicted from the FRF difference between low noise wheel and solid wheel by experimental modal analysis. The low noise wheel and solid wheel were compared in viewpoint of car interior/exterior noise. The effect of low noise wheel on the noise of subway train of 6 vehicles was obtained. But, the application of low noise wheel must be reviewed in some aspect.

This paper deals with the estimation methods of ground-borne noise generated by subway. Generally, numerical method using by ground model is used to prediction of ground borne noise. However, this method is needed a lots of time to make an analysis and model. In this paper, we describe empirical formula that is based on experimental data for subway and estimate the ground-borne noise propagated from underground station that is builded in the near future to building.

Today, people are exposed to the various noisy environments, such as in the buses, subway and supermarkets where there are a lot of people. The noise issue is getting more serious as people want to use portable sound equipment and mobile phones even under this noisy condition. People want to use the portable equipment to exchange the information freely and they set the volume as 15dB higher than the noise around them, which almost reach at 110 dB. That amount of sound can cause noise induced deafness to the users and another issue to the others as additional noise source. A Bone-conduction system can be a solution to reduce noise and enhance voice signal of mobile phone. In this paper, we propose the way of cancelling noise and enhancing speech signal of mobile phones, by installing bone-conduction feedback system with ordinary mobile phones. With this system, we can reduce the environment noise and enhance the voice quality of mobile phones. Using this method, we can enhance the signal by around 17 dB.
