Comparative Feature Analysis of Ground Surface Vibration Induced by High-Speed Train Running on Viaduct and Embankment

Abstract:

Based on the Abaqus parallel computing cluster system platform, the three-dimensional finite element model of train-track-viaduct/embankment-foundation-soil coupling is established. The three-dimensional space-time variation and Fourier spectrums characters of ground surface vibration vertical accelerations by high-speed train running on viaduct and embankment are simulated. The result shows that ground surface vibration is mainly excited by periodic axle force of the train in the site near the viaduct pier. In the site far from the viaduct pier, ground surface vibration is mainly from the transmission of the site near the viaduct pier. With the increased distance between the viaduct pier, the peak value of ground surface vibration vertical acceleration decreases, and decreases significantly when the distance is within 10m. There are two main frequency bands of Fourier spectrum of ground surface vibration vertical acceleration: low-frequency band 0-12Hz and high-frequency band 35-47Hz of viaduct route, and low-frequency band 0-21Hz and high-frequency band 25-45Hz of embankment route. In general, with the increased distance between viaduct/embankment, Fourier spectrum amplitude of every frequency band decrease, and attenuation speed of high-frequency band is much faster than-frequency band’s.
