Wheel loading from high-speed trains can generate seismic ‘Rayleigh’ waves that propagate in the near surface, causing track and ground displacements. These displacements can increase over low-density, poorly consolidated soils with low wave velocities. Rayleigh wave characteristics were mapped onto soil engineering geological classifications using lithological and density parameters in effective stress-based algorithms that model shear wave velocities with depth. The use of small-scale engineering geological maps and one-dimensional modelling identified low Rayleigh wave velocity profiles associated with alluvial and terrace deposits in river catchments and floodplains along the proposed High Speed 2 route in the UK. Examination of the velocity−depth profiles indicated that sites are especially susceptible to dynamic displacement amplification where train-induced ground motion occurs within an interval of up to half the wavelength of the Rayleigh wave frequency induced by the train load centres. Using th...
