A performance-based design framework for base-isolated buildings against ground-borne vibration
\noindent Ground-borne vibration in buildings is a recurrent design concern for new developments in the vicinity of surface or underground railways, a common question being whether or not a building necessitates some form of vibration mitigation. This question is commonly tackled by comprehensive …

Vibration from underground railways: considering piled foundations and twin tunnels
Accurate predictions of ground-borne vibration levels in the vicinity of an underground railway are greatly sought after in modern urban centers. Yet the complexity involved in simulating the underground environment means that it is necessary to make simplifying assumptions about this system. One …

Investigating the feasibility of using dynamic stiffness beam functions in a hybrid structure-borne noise prediction model
Ground-borne vibration and structure-borne noise in buildings associated with nearby railway systems, either above ground or underground, is a common occurrence indensely populated areas. This is especially true where new transportation systems are built in proximity to existing noise and vibration …

On the performance of base-isolated buildings: a generic model
Ground-borne vibration has existed ever since the development of urban road and rail networks. Vibration generated by the moving traffic propagates through the ground and into buildings, resulting in unacceptable levels of internal noise and vibration. A common solution to this increasingly …

Ground vibration from underground railways: how simplifying assumptions limit prediction accuracy
Noise and vibration from underground railways is a documented disturbance to individuals living or working near subways. Much work has been done to understand and simulate the dynamic interactions between the train, track, tunnel and soil resulting in numerical models which can predict ground-borne …

Ground vibration measurements with special reference to pile driving
… in recent years over the level and nature of the ground vibrations. The importance of such vibration has increased rapidly due to developments in construction in urban areas, where the effects of ground borne vibration on both humans and structures are considerable. Research has been undertaken to …

Piled foundation dynamics: Considering inertial and underground railway excitation
… foundations is important for practitioners, as ground-borne vibration can result in adverse disturbances, particularly in urban areas. Through the development of computationally efficient models, this dissertation examines the vibration of piles due to (1) inertial excitation at the pile heads …
