The dynamic response of a Hyperloop tube embedded in soft soils

The hyperloop system is a new transportation mode, which consists a magnetic levitating capsule-like hyperloop pod and a vacuum tube. Due to small air hindrance, the hyperloop pod is conceived to have a maximum speed of 333 m/s. If such a hyperloop system is to be built underground in soft soils, the hyperloop speed can easily reach the wave...

Concrete slab beneath ballast bed - An Abatement Measure For Railway Induced Vibration

In this research project, an assessment of an abatement measure for mitigating railway induced vibrations is carried out. Ground-borne vibrations, which are primarily generated due to wheel-rail interaction, may also result in ground-borne noise in the buildings located in vicinity of railway tracks. An example of adverse environmental impact...
