Experimental Study of Combined Vibration Effect Due To Existing Railway and Upcoming Metro Train in Ahmedabad City

: The vibrations induced by metro trains have raised more and more attention along with the development of the mass transition system in many cities of World. With the continuous expansion of Ahmedabad city, metro has become a primary choice to ease the heavy traffic, as its convenience, capacity and safety. However, the vibration induced by metro trains may be affect structures and people nearby. In this project work we are analyzing the vibration impact due to Ahmedabad metro along with existing railway vibration and its effects on existing engineering structures. Vibrations in engineering structures located along the metro route are measured using 16-channel vibration analyzer due to existing railway. Vibrations of metro are predicted using SAP200 modeling. The level of vibrations will be analyzed by addition of existing railway vibration and vibration which can be induced during operations of metro in Ahmedabad. .
