Effects of High-Speed Railway in Tunnel on Vibration Response of Upper Building

Abstract:

In order to study the effects of high-speed railway in tunnel on vibration response of upper building, the Vehicle-Track-Tunnel-Soil-Building coupling dynamic model was established, and the reaction force of fasteners was used to transmit between Vehicle-Track coupling dynamic model and Tunnel-Soil-Building finite element model. According to modal analysis for typical section of building, sensitive frequency range and sensitive structure locations were obtained. In terms of two conditions, Tunnel-Building Integrated Structure and building are evaded from tunnel for some distance, 1/3 octave vibration level and VLZ vibration acceleration level for all measuring points were calculated to analyze the vibration response of building. The results are shown as follows: for Tunnel-Building Integrated Structure, the overall vibration level is high,which is above 65dB. 2-3dB will be reduced by decreasing speed and improving standard of track. when building is evaded from tunnel for some distance, with larger evaded distance, the vibration response is slighter. However, when evaded distance is above 30m, vibration may be amplified ,so its necessary to select proper distance. Vibration response of structure is most strong when 4 lines meet under building, so strict limitation on meeting condition of trains can effectively reduce vibration level.
