GROUND VIBRATION DUE TO TRAIN PASSAGE--ON EFFECTS OF RAIL JOINT GAP

Ground vibration due to train passage is described referring to the results of a measurement carried out between Matsukawa and Kanayagawa on the Tohoku Truck Line in October 1964. The main purpose of the measurement was to study effects of rail joint gap on the noise and ground vibration. Results can be summarized as follows: (1) Horizontal vibration caused by an expansion joint is smaller at 2.8 m from the track center than at 5.8 m. (2) The dominant frequency of horizontal displacement due to the joint with the gap of 15 mm is lower than that of the expansion joint and the joint with the gap of 5 mm.
