Measuring Vibrations of Subway Tunnel Structures with Cracks
In a study conducted in a metro tunnel, acceleration and displacement sensors were strategically placed along steel rails, track beds, and tunnel walls to capture real-time dynamic responses during train operations. Data were analyzed in the time and frequency domains, focusing on vibration levels and one-third octave bands. The results indicated that peak vibration acceleration significantly decreases from steel rails to tunnel walls, with different vibration frequencies observed at various locations: steel rails (200 Hz–1400 Hz), track beds, and tunnel walls (70 Hz–400 Hz). Cracks notably increase peak acceleration, vibration levels, peak frequency, and steel rail displacement but do not alter the overall vibration trends. Tunnel wall responses show the highest sensitivity to cracks, with a 300% increase in peak frequency, followed by track beds (100%) and steel rails (70%). Vibration levels under one-third octave band processing increased by 12.4% for tunnel walls, 8.8% for track beds, and 2.2% for steel rails. Cracks also caused steel rails’ vertical and lateral displacement to rise by 112% and 53%, respectively. These findings provide valuable insights for vibration reduction and crack repair in long-term subway operations.
