Abstract:

The present paper concentrates on the results of in situ vibration measurements performed within the frame of the EC-Growth Project CONVURT ("The control of vibration from underground rail traffic") at the site of the Cité Universitaire campus in Paris on the RER B line of RATP between the stations of Cité Universitaire and Gentilly. Tests were carried out to determine the track and the soil characteristics, the transfer functions between the track and the free field and the track and the building, as well as the free field and the building response during the passage of a test train and service trains at variable speed.
