Train-Induced Vibration Characteristics of a Double-Story High-Speed Railway Station
Publication: Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities
Volume 38, Issue 3
Abstract
Double-story high-speed railway stations have become increasingly popular due to their smaller footprint and improved operational efficiency. However, ensuring passenger comfort in such stations requires careful consideration of train-induced vibrations. This study investigates the train-induced vibrations in Beijing Fengtai Railway Station, which is Asia’s largest and China’s first double-story high-speed railway station. To carry out this work, a vibration source load model and the finite-element model of the station were first established, where the model was verified using field-measured data. Following these, the vibration characteristics of the station under various train passing conditions, including different track positions and train speeds, were investigated numerically in both time and frequency domains. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for the vibration control of the railway stations of the similar modes and scales.
