Abstract:
Currently there is no consensus for the assessment of the human response to indoor
vibrations. Also, the methodology used by several countries is different, as can be seen
from the publication and use of different normative documents. This paper presents a
proposal for the evaluation of railway projects to be used in Portugal, through the
calculation of transfer functions and their corresponding validation when the line begins
operating. For this purpose, an eligibility criterion for vibrations and structural noise inside
the buildings is presented. Additionally, this paper presents a proposal for the
assessment of vibration mitigation measures.
