This paper presents the problem of vibration transmission in building structures, which is induced by rail transport, and it discusses the effect of acoustic isolation used at the foundation. The vibration sources generate acoustic waves which are transmitted to the foundation and propagate trough the floors and slabs of the building. The transmission coefficients of the acoustic waves induced by metro trains and trams were determined in the building foundation and slabs. It was shown that mechanical resonances have a significant influence on the vibrations of the slabs. The characteristics of vibration propagation through vibration-insulated floors were found. Using the data obtained in this study, vibration effects in buildings located near vibration sources can be estimated, vibration protection measures can be developed.
