Abstract
Many buildings near railways are mounted on rubber springs to isolate them from ground vibration. This paper reviews the theory of resiliently mounted buildings and discusses recent calculations of the effects of (a) different damping models and (b) piled foundations. The paper also describes site measurements in London and laboratory tests in Cambridge which are being made to support new analytical work.Keywords
