Field Measurement and Numerical simulation of Vibration effect on Metro Depot Superstructure Caused By Passing Trains

In recent years, more attention had paid to the vibration and noise influence on nearby building caused by passing trains. The metro depot superstructure is directly built above the train garage, the vibration of superstructure is very serious when the trains get into or go out of the garage. In order to investigate the law of vibration influence on metro depot and superstructure, a field measurement has been carried out and a 3D finite element model of building-platform-column is established. The attenuation law and degree of environmental vibration influence is obtained by analyzing the measurement date and calculation results. The results show that the vibration response of superstructure is obvious, the vibration level is related with the running state of train. The vibration response is more serious when trains pull out of the garage than go into garage, because the running speed is faster when trains pull out of garage. The vibration intensity does not monotonically increase or monotonically reduce with the increasing of floor and it tends to change wave upon wave with the increasing of floor.
