This paper studies topology optimization as a tool for designing barriers for ground vibration transmission. A two-dimensional problem is considered where material is sti [...]

This paper discusses the design, the installation, and the experimental and numerical evaluation of the effectiveness of a stiff wave barrier in the soil as a mitigation [...]

To allow for a more accurate description of crowd-induced loading, the present study aims to provide the necessary insights into vertical human-structure interaction (HSI [...]

Slender structures such as footbridges may be prone to human induced vibrations such that vibration mitigation devices as TMD’s are adopted to increase the structural d [...]

This paper examines the influence of imperfectly known local subsoil conditions on the response prediction of buildings to ground-borne environmental vibration. A probabi [...]

This paper presents a technique for offline time synchronization of data acquisition systems for linear structures with proportional damping. The technique can be applied [...]

The free wave characteristics, i.e. propagation constants and free waves, characterize the dynamic behaviour of periodic structures. For this reason, they may therefore p [...]

A numerical prediction model for road traffic induced vibrations is developed. Dynamic soilstructure interaction at the source and the structure is accounted for. The � [...]
