Building Vibration and Soil Dynamics

<p><span style=color: rgba(23 43 77 1)>The growing demand for sustainable transportation has led to a significant interest in developing rail transit networks for both intra- and intercity travel. However train-induced vibrations that are transmitted through soils to nearby buildings have become widely recognized as environmental concerns with significant negative impacts on nearby buildings sensitive equipment and residents. Additionally earthquakes can cause serious physical damage to buildings resulting in economic losses and human casualties and injuries. Consequently this Special Issue will focus on the modeling method and propagation characteristics of train-induced and seismic vibration in soils and buildings as well as efficient mitigation methods.</span></p>
