Abstract

With the development of society and the high-speed growing of urban population, traffic jam is becoming an increasing seriousness to people’s normal life. Subway construction as a result can be an efficient means to solve this problem. However, vibration induced by subway’s operation can seriously affect the structure of subway tunnel and the environment around it. So, getting into a thorough research of the environmental vibration response becomes an important issue. This paper introduces a field vibration test on Ningbo subway tunnel at different spots of track slab and tunnel lining, compares the vibrating performance at different spots. Then the propagating and damping properties of vibration are analyzed.
