“OLYMPIC” TRAM IN ATHENS 2004: EMBEDDED RAIL FLOATING SLABTRACK FOR FAST EXECUTION OF EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT TRACK INFRASTRUCTURE Prof. Constantinos Vogiatzis Patrick Carels University of Thessaly CDM nv/sa Dept of Civil Engineering, Reutenbeek 9 Pedion Areos B-3090 Overijse G-38821 Volos Belgium Greece, patrick.carels@cdm.be tte@tee.gr KEYWORDS: Slabtrack, embedded rail, earthquake, noise, vibration ABSTRACT The Athens Tramway is a 48km light rail system that dramatically improves the access from the city centre to the coastal region, where many of the important “Athens Olympic Venues” are situated. The design and installation of this new Tram system required extreme care with regard to noise and vibration. A simple and efficient, low noise and vibration embedded track solution, using fastener-less PREFARAIL® technology was implemented. The concept is based on the rails being completely encapsulated in an elastic jacket with special shape and stiffness characteristics. Three types of track solution, with different track moduli, were designed to meet the relevant noise and vibration criteria: For receptor distances L30m the PREFARAIL CLASSIC® system was implemented For receptor distances 10mL30m the PREFARAIL COMFORT® system was implemented For receptor distances L10m the PREFARAIL COMFORT® system was used along with the CDM-DFMA-L10® Floating slab-track The in-situ measurements showed full compliance with the specifications.
