Abstract: This study solves the three-dimensional (3D) dynamic interaction problem between simply supported Timoshenko beams and vehicles by using theoretical equations. The model includes intermediate supports, so train-rail-soil ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the reduction of vibration due to the foundation slab both in horizontal and vertical directions. Similar reduction efficiency of the foundation slab was obtained among three-dimensional finite ...

Abstract: Scouring around bridge piers is an important safety issue of bridge management since it can lead to bridge slant and collapse. Therefore, bridge scour depth is an important index to determine a bridge’s safety condition. ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the characteristics of the ground vibration induced by moving trains on elevated railways using a number of field measurements at various train speeds. The experimental results indicate that the ...
