Research on the Characteristics and Comprehensive Mitigation Measures of Vibration and Acoustic Environment in Building Clusters Above Metro Depots

Taking a metro over-track TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) project in Chongqing as the engineering background, this study adopts a combined research approach integrating field measurements and numerical simulation. A coupled finite element model of the train–track–tunnel–soil–building system and a regional acoustic model are established to systematically reveal the vibration response characteristics of building clusters above the depot induced by metro operation, the propagation mechanism of structure-borne secondary noise, and the distribution patterns of the regional acoustic environment, while identifying the areas where vibration and noise exceed the prescribed limits as well as the key influencing factors. On this basis, following a hierarchical mitigation strategy consisting of source control, path interruption, and receiver protection, an integrated control scheme is proposed through the coordinated application of track vibration reduction, building vibration isolation, acoustic environment optimization, and building sound insulation. The engineering applicability and control effectiveness of the proposed scheme are further verified by numerical simulation. The findings of this study can provide theoretical support and technical reference for the refined design and integrated prevention and control of vibration and acoustic environments in similar metro over-track development projects.
