Numerical modeling of train-induced vibration of nearby multi-story building: A case study
Abstract In recent years, ground vibration has become a popular research topic due to the growing construction close to vibration sources and the attentiveness of people about living conditions. Thus, vibrations caused by the passage of the train near buildings play an important role. In prediction of train-induced vibrations, many experimental and theoretical methods have been proposed. In order to study the vibration near the railway at Qaemshahr, a 2D finite element analysis employed for modeling of the train movement and its effect on the adjacent building. The validation of the numerical model was done by the high-speed train running measurements. The results show that the vibration level decreases by increasing the track centerline to building distance and decreasing train speed. The frequency of vibration up to 12 Hz was present in the incident wave field and the dominating part of the frequency content was between 2.5 and 5.5 Hz. The building foundation bending moment variations caused by train-induced vibrations was negligible. The track centerline to building edge distance of 18 m was seemed to be an acceptable value to reduce the annoyance and environmental effects caused by train-induced vibrations.
