Abstract:This paper presents an efficient method to predict underground railway-induced vibrations. The method uses the finite element method (FEM) to model the railway tunnel structure and the singular boundary method (SBM) to model the wave propagation in the surrounding soil. The FEM mesh
and the distribution of SBM collocation points at the tunnel/soil interface are generated using an automatic meshing strategy. The presented method is one of the main components of VIBWAY, a user-friendly prediction tool to addres… Show more
