Traffic-Induced Vibrations: Damping Pavement Theoretical-Experimental Study
Vibration phenomena produced by road traffic are very interesting in terms of induced annoyance in the human body and in buildings, especially in urban historical areas. An accurate study of vehicle-pavement-building interaction thus becomes a primary requirement. By means of a finite differences technique, the authors developed a numeric analysis in order to evaluate the propagation and reduction of traffic-induced vibration. Numerical data validation, which was obtained from a deep experimental phase on a two lane rural road, consisted in: vibration survey with triaxial velocimeter of buildings near road; selection of the most efficient design solutions for pavement improvements and their effectiveness evaluation on reduction of vibrations in buildings. Collected data underwent an in-depth analysis, which provided particularly interesting and significant results regarding "damping" pavements design, with particular attention to laying and maintenance technologies.
