PurposeThis paper aims to evaluate the dynamic response of surrounding foundation and study the vibration characteristics of track system.Design/methodology/approachA double-line underground coupling analysis model was established, which included two moving train, track, liner and the ground field.FindingsBased on the 2.5D (D is diameter) finite element analysis, the influence of the important factors such as the depth of the subway tunnel, the nature of the foundation soil, the relative position relation of the double tunnel, the subway driving speed on the foundation and the orbital vibration are analyzed in this article.Originality/valueThe results in paper may have reference value for the prediction of train induced vibrations and for the research of dynamic response of ground field.
