Ground-borne noise and vibration generated by underground transit system has been recognized as an important environmental problem. This study reviews several of the procedures that have been used to predict ground-borne vibration. The vibration responses are measured at three sites that have different soil qualities. The measured vibration levels are compared with the predicted results by previously used vibration level prediction models. There are some drawbacks to apply these prediction models to selected sites because most of the existing prediction models are primarily based on empirical data and all of them lack of analytical models for the mechanism of ground-borne vibration generation. radiation, and propagation. In this study a numerical method, which is based on explicit differential method, is used to compensate for the shortcomings of existing prediction models. Although numerically computed results are not quantitatively in good agreement with the measured results, the trends are comparable in the sense that vibration level does not decrease monotonically with distance. Also, the site with the deepest tunnel gives the highest vibration level.

This paper describes the instruments used, and the test procedures adopted, and the findings obtained from a research project aiming to investigate, via full-scale field tests, the ground borne vibration caused by underground railway tunnel constructed in hard rock. The ground borne vibration induced by high-speed trains (i.e. the Korea Train eXpress (KTX) services) with a speed of approximately 200km/hr was measured inside the borehole constructed in the close proximity to the KTX tunnel using 3-component borehole seismographs in order to investigate the wave propagation of ground borne vibration. This paper also discusses the limitation associated with the current practice of measuring ground borne vibration using conventional borehole seismograph.

Subway train-induced ground-borne vibration is studied. Previously used vibration level prediction equations are reviewed. Measured vibration levels are compared with the predicted results and numerically computed results. The results show that vibration level does not decrease proportionally with the distance.

Considering a countermeasure against vibration along the existing line, in many cases, it may be the most efficient method to replace existing fasteners with high resilient fasteners because of the restriction of the construction of a new track type. There are many types of high resilient fasteners which are different in price and performance. Therefore it is important to choose the high resilient fastener which has best vibration-proof performance per price. In this study, a prediction method which can exactly evaluate the performance of a fastener in the reduction the ground borne noise in the existing line is presented, which is constructed based on the combination of the measurement and the simulation. A numerical example using the presented method is introduced to evaluate the vibration-proof performance for the solution of the vibration problem in the existing line.

Recently, ground-borne noise and vibration generated by underground transit system has been recognized as an important environmental problem. This study reviews several of the improved procedures that have been used to predict ground-borne vibration. At first, ground stiffness profile is examined by SASW test which is the most reasonable surface wave test. It is very important to acquire the exact ground stiffness profile at ground response analysis. At second, the train loading to act roadbed is calculated by using the real measured phase angle data. In finite element analysis, averaged acceleration method, infinite element, Rayleigh damping and 2-dimensional wave propagation analysis is performed.

Ground-borne vibration is one of the main causes of environmental impact from subway systems. The vibration resulting from track-train interaction is transuutted through the tunnel structure and the surrounding ground to adjacent buildings. This paper provides a summary of proposed noise and vibration criteria, a review of the ground vibration propagation mechanism and the theoretical isolation effectivenesss of each of the following underground transit systems : track, tunnel and vehicle itself.

Construction vibration such as explosive blast, hydraulic breaker, vibratory roller, pile driving noise and so on, injuries in areas around the construction sites. In particular, underwater sound caused by ground vibration is propagation such as structure borne noise. Vibration and underwater sound due to construction activities may cause injury to river, sea or land fish farms near construction sites. The purpose of present study is to measure the sound pressure level and frequency analysis of the underwater noise generated by ground vibration(Blasting, hydraulic crawler drill, hydraulic breaker, vibratory roller). Underwater noise were monitoring by a hydrophone (TC 4013) and recorded, analysis were made using a by software (Prosig).

지하철 인근 지역에서 차량 통과 시 차륜과 레일의 상호작용으로 인한 진동이 지반을 통하여 건물까지 전파되어 구조전달음이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 구조전달음이 발생하는 지하철 인근 지역에서 도로나 주거단지가 새롭게 조성될 예정인 경우, 완공 이후에 발생하는 구조전달음 영향을 사전에 평가하고 대책을 수립하는 것이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 국내에 위치한 일부 역사에서의 구조전달음을 측정하고 국외의 예측식을 검토하여 구조전달음의 실측치와 예측치를 비교한다. 따라서 국내 지하철의 구조전달음 예측에 대하여 국외 예측식의 타당성을 검토함으로써 향후 건설될 지하구간 역사의 인근 주거지역에 대한 구조전달음을 예측하는데 기초 자료로 활용하고자 한다.

Noise and vibration induced by subway operation is one of the major problem for the residents living nearby railway tracks. Many scientists and engineers have been working on proposing the more accurate prediction equation of noise and vibration to provide the better residential environment. Some predictiction equations were determined to compare the measurement value of a noise obtained from the inside of a residential area. It was observed that the condition of a soil type is one of the major parameter which should be considered to obtain the more accurate prediction value of a noise.
