| Abstract | This dissertation is centered around a case study of the Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) concerning the issues of ground borne vibration and its environmental effects on the metropolitan areas which it serves. As the speed and weight of high speed trains increase, the vibrations caused by the transportation system can seriously affect the nearby locales's ability to attract high technology manufacturers and many existing factories have relocated. The THSR was selected for its readily available geotechnical and structural data from a long history of earthquake studies and it is ideal for a detailed analysis. The THSR route traverses through densely populated areas of Western Taiwan where 97% of its population resides. The work herein includes a study of the vibration generated by deeply embedded pile groups of elevated tracks, used in 70% of THSR. Many previous analyses concentrated mostly on ground surface induced vibrations. It is shown that the soil-structure interaction effect of a resonant bridge could amplify the vibration at ground level as the mass of the bridge contributes as a dynamic factor. |
