ISO/TS 14837-32:2015 provides guidance and defines methods for the measurement of dynamic properties of the ground through which ground-borne noise and vibration is transmitted, from the operation of rail systems and into foundations of neighbouring buildings. The purpose is to determine the parameters of the ground system which are necessary to reliably predict the noise and vibration transmission, to design railroads and foundations to meet noise and vibration requirements, to design countermeasures and to validate design methods.
