Abstract
This study aims to assess the vibration response of the ground transportation centre (GTC) at an airport integrated transportation hub during the starting and braking processes of underground maglev and subway trains. In this work, we considered the actual motion states of trains entering and exiting the GTC and calculated the traction characteristics of maglev and subway trains. On this basis, the vertical coupling vibration models for a medium- and low-speed maglev train-guideway and a subway train-floating slab track considering variable-speed motion, as well as the vehicle longitudinal motion models, were established, and the vertical and longitudinal fastener forces of the tracks were obtained accordingly. Finally, based on the two-step analysis method, the vertical and longitudinal fastener forces were simultaneously applied to the track–GTC–soil finite element model to evaluate the structural vibrations induced by maglev and subway trains. The results show that the amplitude of the vertical fastener force is an order of magnitude greater than that of the longitudinal fastener force, and the amplitude of the vertical fastener force caused by subway trains is greater than that caused by maglev trains. The starting process of both maglev trains and subway trains results in a greater vertical vibration response of the GTC than the braking process, with the impact of subway trains being greater than that of maglev trains. Within the same area, the vertical vibration level observed at structural column observation points is lower than that at slab observation points. When maglev trains and subway trains start simultaneously, the vibration level response at some points exceeds the specified limit of 75 dB.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
