Abstract: Ground vibrations initiated by the passage of vehicles in public transport infrastructure including railways and highways are likely to produce an adverse influence on adjacent structures. Under extreme conditions, this ...

Abstract: This study proposes the novel geometrical design of open trenches in contrast to the traditional rectangular type of open trench, in order to improve the efficiency in mitigating the traffic-induced ground vibrations. The ...

Abstract: Mitigating the ground vibration initiated by the passage of trains to safeguard the surrounding structures is a challenge for geotechnical engineers. Among various existing methods, open trenches are one of the most common ...
