Building response measurements as a validation tool for a numerical prediction model for traffic induced vibrations in buildings

Vibration measurements in and near a single family dwelling are performed during the passage of a truck on an uneven concrete road with joints for vehicle speeds between 25 km/h and 51 km/h. Additional measurements are performed for truck passages on an artificial profile installed on the uneven road for vehicle speeds between 23 km/h and 58 km/h. These experimental data will be used to validate a numerical prediction model for the dynamic response of a building due to road traffic induced vibrations, accounting for dynamic soil-structure interaction.
