Influence of railway induced vibrations on structures and humans in urban areas

Nikola Naumovski, Viktor Hristovski, Lidija Krstevska

Abstract

Railway traffic is a significant source of vibration that can affect the quality of life of people living near busy railways. This study proposes an integrated methodology for analysing the impact of vibrations from railway traffic on people and nearby buildings and measures for reducing their effects. The research includes both in-situ measurements and numerical modelling of railway traffic-induced vibrations. The proposed integrated methodological approach is implemented on a section of the active Kumanovo–Deljadrovci railway line in North Macedonia. The knowledge gained through this research is intended to provide a good basis for defining national standards for this increasingly relevant issue.

Keywords
railway vibrations, in-situ vibration measurement, finite element method, attenuation curve
