WAVE DISTRIBUTION THROUGH THE SOIL LAYERS FROM TRAFFIC

VIBRATIONSUTBREDNING I JORD FRAAN TRAFIK

Road and railway traffic generate noise and vibration. The distribution of vibration surface waves is difficult to analyse. In this paper some of the knowledge, methods of analysis and important facts are presented. The wave distribution problem is divided into six sub areas: (1) dynamic properties of the vehicle; (2) concurrence between the vehicle and the road; (3) the transfer of the dynamical forces from the road to the foundation and the subsoil; (4) wave distribution through the soil layers; (5) concurrence between subsoil and building foundation; and (6) transfer to the building from the foundation. Finally, some countermeasures are presented. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 876615.
