Assessment of trafic-induced vibrations on humans and buildings according to BS and DIN standard

Abstract

Traffic-induced vibrations has become great problem in the big cities. Although they can not cause damages of buildings they could have annoying effects on the citizens. In the goal of sustainable development of the cities, this phenomena has been experimentally and numerically investigated all around the world in the last years. The results are standards that defined threshold for building vibrations and some numerical and empirical models for prediction of vibrations. Such standard has not been adopted in Serbia, yet. In this work the assessment of traffic-induced vibrations for 24 buildings in Belgrade using BS and DIN standards were carried out and some conclusions are presented.

Vibracije izazvane saobraćajem postaju sve veći problem u razvijenim gradovima. Iako ne mogu izazvati oštećenja zgrada te vibracije deluju veoma nepovoljno na ljude u njima. U cilju održivog razvoja gradova, veliki broj istraživanja u svetu bio je posvećen ispitivanju i numeričkom modeliranju tog fenomena poslednjih godina. Doneti su standardi koji definišu dozvoljeni nivo vibracija u zgradama i razvijeni su brojni numerički i empirijski modeli za predviđanje istih. U Srbiji ne postoje standardi za ocenu dejstva vibracija. U ovom radu je izvršena procena vibracija koje su izmerene na 24 objekta u Beogradu primenom BS i DIN standarda i izvedeni su određeni zaključci.
