Ground Vibration Analysis of Railroad Dynamic Loads on Rail Structure
Jurnal Teknik Sipil dan Perencanaan, 2019 The railroad structure consists of rail steel, sleepers, fastening, ballast, sub-ballast and subgrade. The load of the passing train at a certain speed can produce vibrations channeled through the train wheels to the railway steel to be forwarded to the sleepers then to the ballast and distributed to the subgrade. The amount of vibration caused by ...
