Rail Vibration Mitigation Using Tire-Derived Aggregate (TDA) . . . as time goes by
TDA Presentation 2021 given by Derek Watry and Ani Toncheva during the APTA Track and Noise/Vibration Technical Forum Meeting.
Use of Floating-Slab Track Bed for Noise and Vibration Abatement
Early paper written by George Wilson, PhD in 1978 for TRB. Underground rail rapid transit systems can produce ground-borne vibration and noise from trains that creates intrusion in buildings located close to the underground facilities. [...]
