The recent increase in the use of the railway and the establishment of more restrictive
policies of harmful environmental effects of railway transport highlights the need to investigate
ground vibrations related to trains. Therefore models to evaluate how this phenomenon affects
have been performed. This article aims to expose both analytical and 3D-FE models and to
compare theoretical formulation and results. Models have been calibrated and validated with real
data. Furthermore, a simulation of the acceleration level of different railway infrastructure
elements has been achieved.
