[WIB Construction Method Case Study] Railway Vibration Countermeasures for Residential Areas Along Railways, January 2017, Saitama Prefecture

Measures were implemented directly beneath the residence! Dominant vibrations in the 10-20Hz range were reduced by 6-12dB!

Some plots of a residential development 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 the houses. Vibration measurements were conducted before and after the countermeasures. Dominant vibrations in the range of 10-20Hz were reduced by 6-12dB (to 1/4 to 1/2 of the original vibrations), keeping the vibration level below 60dB. 【Case Summary】 ■ Location: Saitama Prefecture ■ Client: Housing manufacturer ■ Vibration source: Railway vibrations ■ Preservation target: Houses along the railway (total of 9 buildings; 5 buildings + 4 buildings) ■ Countermeasure work: Plate-type WIB method (honeycomb cell type) ■ Installation position: Directly beneath the receiving side *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
