Abstract: The objective of part II of this paper is to couple the validated source model for free-field traffic-induced vibrations, which has been presented in part I of the paper, to a receiver model that incorporates the structure ...

Abstract: The bender element test has shown to be a reliable tool to determine the shear wave velocity. This paper aims to extend the bender element technique to also measure the material damping ratio in a triaxial cell. Three ...

Abstract: This work focuses on the coupling of a validated source model for free field traffic-induced vibrations to a receiver model that enables one to predict the response of buildings, accounting for dynamic soil–structure ...

Abstract: The spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) method aims to determine the small strain dynamic soil characteristics of shallow soil layers. The method involves an in situ experiment, the determination of an experimental ...
