STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW PREDICTION AND CONTROL OF GROUNDBORNE NOISE AND VIBRATION FROM RAIL TRANSIT TRAINS: ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

This interim report presents an annotated bibliography that has been compiled as part of a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in the prediction and control of groundborne noise and vibration created by rail transit operations. Included in this bibliography are over 300 references, most with annotations, of literature pertaining to groundborne noise and vibration. The selected references include published articles and books from the standard literature, in addition to many unpublished references. The unpublished references are of particular interest since it is these reports that often contain the most current information about the techniques that are being used by transit systems to control groundborn noise and vibration, and the practical problems that may have developed when the methods were implemented. These unpublished references primarily consist of reports prepared by consultants for transit systems and unpublished papers presented at professional society meetings.
