Abstract
This paper examines some characteristics of ground vibration as induced by high-speed trains using a wide variety of field-measured data. The measurements for analysis consist of different geological conditions, train speeds, foundation types, and superstructures. Based on these analyses, geological condition is found to be a very important factor which obviously influences initial mobilized vibration level and vibration attenuation. For the train speed factor, the vibration level increases with increasing train speed, but the incremental rate is more obvious on soft ground. The foundation type has an influence on the initial mobilized vibration level and its attenuation rate with distance. In addition, the trains on an embankment and a bridge with shallow foundation present relatively consistent vibration characteristics. Finally, some recommendations for further studies are proposed.
