B203 REDUCTION EFFECTS ON GROUND VIBRATIONS BEFORE AND AFTER INSTALLING THE CONTINUOUS WELDED RAIL

抄録

Recently, as the velocity of train has been improved and the operation of the express train has been increased, the ground-transmitted vibrations can be a serious problem. For example, the location of a precision machine shop near a railway, or of delicate laboratory apparatus in a plant area containing heavy drop forging machinery or unbalanced rotating machinery are typical situations in which ground-transmitted vibrations may pose serious problems. This paper investigated the reduction effects on ground vibration before and after installing the continuous welded rail on the basis of field tests.
