SOIL VIBRATION INSULATION FOR BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES

Buildings and structures can now be insulated from ground vibrations emanating from railways, road traffic, industrial plant, and from higher frequency airborne noise. About a hundred cases in different parts of the world, but mostly in the United Kingdom, have provided experience of results, costs, and the many structural modifications needed when building on soft springs.(a)
