BUILDING RESPONSE MEASUREMENTS AS A VALIDATION TOOL FOR A NUMERICAL PREDICTION MODEL FOR TRAFFIC INDUCED VIBRATIONS IN BUILDINGS
The results of vibration measurements in and near a single family dwelling during the passage of a truck on an uneven concrete road with joints for vehicle speeds between 25 km/h and 51 km/h are presented. The results of in situ tests (boring, spectral analysis of surface waves, standard cone penetration test), performed to determine the layering and the dynamic soil characteristics of this site, are discussed also as they affect the relative importance of dynamic soil-structure interaction. These experimental data are used to validate a numerical prediction model for the dynamic response of a building to road traffic induced vibrations, accounting for dynamic soil-structure interaction.
