“…A number of studies have been carried out on vibration isolation using wave barriers over the last several decades. Barkan (1962), Dolling (1965), Neumeuer (1963), McNeill et al (1965, and Woods (1968) were some of the pioneers who studied the effects of wave barriers. Woods (1968) conducted a series of field tests to evaluate the screening effect of open trenches for both active and passive isolation cases.…”

When constructing a high-speed railway system in an urban area, the reduction of the ground vibration and noise generated by train passages is a vitally important environmental consideration. In this paper we focus on the development of a centrifuge vibration testing system, which can simulate dynamic loading acting on shallow foundations. The system is used to generate vertical vibration similar to that generated by high-speed trains. The characteristics of wave propagation in a shallow circular foundation on sand are investigated. The effects of two types of barriers on vibration reduction are studied. Additionally, the impact of using vibration attenuating materials to build trackbeds is evaluated.

“…Barkan (1962) is the first to use barriers as an in situ method to reduce the vibratory amplitudes of the driving source in the field. Lysmer and Waas (1972), Lysmer and Kuhlemeyer (1969), Dolling (1965), Neumeuer (1963), McNeill et al (1965, Woods (1968), Richart et al (1970) have studied the efficiency of a trench in the reduction of horizontal shear waves arising from a harmonic load. Some numerical studies have also been carried out to evaluate vibration-isolation performances of open or filled trenches (Aboudi, 1973;Ahmad and Al-Hussaini, 1991;AlHussaini andAhmad, 1991, 1996;May and Bolt, 1982;Fuyuki and Matsumoto, 1980;Dasgupta et al 1986Dasgupta et al , 1988Luong, 1994;Kattis et al, 1999a,b;El Naggar and Chehab, 2005;Ahmad and Al-Hussaini, 1991;Yeh et al, 1997).…”
