Influence of dynamic soil-structure interaction on the building response to ground vibration KU Leuven
In the built environment, ground-borne vibration is produced by environmental sources such as road and railway traffic or construction and industrial activities. These vibrations may lead to malfunctioning of sensitive equipment, discomfort to people, and, at very high levels, structural damage. Dynamic soil-structure interaction plays a crucial role in the prediction of the response of structures to ground-borne vibration. This PhD thesis ...
