A Simple Attenuation Prediction Method for Ground Vibration Induced by High-Speed Trains
Publication: GeoFlorida 2010: Advances in Analysis, Modeling & Design
Abstract
The existing attenuation equation is examined to evaluate the reliability for ground vibration attenuation induced by high-speed trains. Several representative attenuation coefficients are applied to predict ground vibration and then compare them with field measured results for high-speed trains on bridge and embankment. Based on these analyses, the results are comparable for both bridge and embankment structures, and the existing attenuation equation can be used to reasonably predict ground vibration. Attenuation coefficients based on each one-third octave band center frequency and the frequency range for predicting ground vibration are more reliable and consistent. A simple and general methodology for the attenuation of ground vibration by high-speed trains is proposed for engineering practice.
