[WIB Construction Method Case Study] Railway Vibration Countermeasures for Residential Areas Along Railways, January 2019, Saitama Prefecture

Measures were implemented directly beneath each residence in Buildings A to E! The vibration level has been reduced to below 60 dB!

Some of the residential development plots in Saitama Prefecture face a railway, raising concerns about the impact on the living environment after the construction of houses. Therefore, the 'WIB method' was implemented directly beneath each of the houses from Building A to Building E. Vibration measurements were conducted before and after the countermeasures. As a result, the dominant vibration at 10Hz was reduced by 14dB (to 1/5 of the original vibration), successfully keeping the vibration level below 60dB. 【Case Summary】 ■ Location: Saitama Prefecture ■ Client: Housing Manufacturer ■ Vibration Source: Railway Vibration ■ Preservation Target: Residential buildings along the railway (total of 5 buildings) ■ Countermeasure Work: Plate-type WIB (honeycomb cell type) ■ Construction Position: Directly beneath the receiving side *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
