Characteristics and Control of Subway Train-Induced Environmental Vibration: A Case Study
With the widespread construction of the subway in the Chinese mainland, the environmental vibration caused by subway operation has attracted increasing attention. Train-induced environmental vibrations can cause structural deformation, uneven settlement of line foundations, and tunnel leakage, affecting the structural safety of lines and foundations. This research focuses on a segment of the Nanchang Metro Line 3, which has been chosen as the subject of investigation. A numerical model was developed to analyze the subway train-induced environmental vibration, employing the finite element method (FEM). Utilizing a numerical model, an investigation was conducted to examine the impact of train speed on the subway train-induced environmental vibration, the train-induced environmental vibration transmission characteristics were analyzed, and the control effects of vibration reduction tracks on train-induced environmental vibration were discussed. Train-induced vibration tests were also conducted on Nanchang Metro Line 3 to verify the control effects of various vibration reduction tracks. The results indicate that the subway train-induced environmental vibration rises as the train speed goes up, and the vibration peaks always appear around 63 Hz. When the train speed doubles, the Z-vibration level increases from about 5.1 dB to 5.9 dB. Subway train-induced environmental vibration shows a fluctuating decreasing trend with increasing distance from the centerline of the tunnel. The Z-vibration level reaches its maximum 4 m away from the centerline of the tunnel. Compared with the embedded sleeper, the vibration-damping fastener exhibits a vibration reduction effect of about 9 dB to 18 dB, the rubber vibration-damping pad exhibits a better vibration reduction effect of about 16 dB to 24 dB, and the steel spring floating plate exhibits the best vibration-damping effect of about 18 dB to 28 dB. The calculated Z-vibration levels are basically consistent with the measured values, indicating the accuracy of the calculated results of the control effects of the vibration reduction tracks.
