A sequence of results is presented from a model of an oscillating load moving on a track on a layered ground. The results allow a visualization of the e!ect of the relative speeds of the load and the propagation speeds in the ground structure. This is useful in developing the understanding of the in

✦ Synopsis
The authors have presented [1] an interesting paper on the analysis of ground vibrations related to railway tra$c. Their work has extended previous presented analyses to take into account the e!ect of a layered supporting soil as well as the transient nature of ground vibrations related to railway tra$c. Results from calculations show the displacement pattern on the soil surface from a moving constant load as well as from a moving harmonic load. Di!erent relations between the load speed and the Rayleigh wave velocity of the supporting half-space or an upper layer on a half-space are investigated. The deformation pattern around a constant load travelling with sub-Rayleigh speed was found to be of
