Abstract (EN): This paper comprises the experimental assessment of vibrations induced by railway traffic. In a test site, several experiments were performed in order to obtain an appropriate mechanical characterization of the track-ground system. After the characterization of the ground and the track, the vibrations induced by railway traffic were measured both on the railway track and on the free-field. Finally, some predicted results, obtained by the proposed numerical model, are compared with the measurements. The study performed reports the validation of the model proposed by the authors and, consequently, provides a deep understanding of the influence of several aspects which determine the solution to the problem.
