The detrimental impact of vibrations on adjacent reinforced concrete (RC) buildings due to high-speed train (HST) passage is investigated in this work. For this purpose, an elaborate numerical model, initially validated with free-field data, has been developed. Subsequently, a 4-story RC building is added at varying distances from track to assess the developing vibrations levels on the structure. Furthermore, an efficient mitigation measure is applied, i.e., single or double trenches filled with expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam are placed close to the track, in order to minimize the adverse impact of HST-induced vibrations on residents’ health.
