Ground vibrations induced by machine foundations can cause unfavourable effects on the
nearby buildings ranging from annoyance to structural damage. Most of these vibrations …

A numerical investigation on the effectiveness of open and in-filled trenches in reducing the
building vibrations due to passing trains is presented. Particularly, a two-dimensional soil …

The problem of vibration isolation by a row of piles is numerically solved in a three‐
dimensional context by an advanced frequency domain boundary element method (BEM) …

In the present-day context, man-made sources of ground-borne vibration are rising at a very
rapid rate due to increasing construction work, blasting activities, and rapidly expanding rail …

This paper is aimed at studying the effectiveness of different vibration countermeasures in
isolating the ground vibrations induced by trains moving at sub-and supercritical speeds …

This paper presents a theoretical study on the ground vibration isolation efficiency by multi-
rows of piles as passive barrier in a three-dimensional context. Integral equations governing …

For buildings and factories located near railway or subway lines, the vibrations caused by
the moving trains, especially at high speeds, may be annoying to the residents or …

The problem of vibration isolation by rectangular open trenches in a plane strain context is
numerically studied using a finite element code, PLAXIS. The soil media is assumed to be …

Vibratory energy transmitted through propagating waves generated by machine foundations
can be detrimental to adjacent structures or sensitive equipment operating nearby. Most of …

A 2.5 D analysis is presented of the vibration reduction of buildings alongside the railway by
open or infilled trenches. Assuming the soil-structure system to be uniform along the railway …
