Pontani, Nicola (author), Martinelli, Luca (author), Acquati, Marco (author), Jommi, C. (author)Ground borne vibrations generated by the passage of underground trains may change over time due to objective causes, such as increasing weight and speed of trains or ageing of the infrastructure components, as well as a variation in the dynamic response of the soil surrounding the tunnel. Among the possible causes of changes in the soil...journal article 2023
