Abstract

The presentation describes simplified design advice for assessment of traffic-induced vibrations in land use. The guidelines include a vibration criterion, limit values, vibration measurements and evaluation of building vibrations. The proposed vibration criterion for building vibration is related to the frequency-weighted rms value. The vibration design is based on two approaches; one considers the uniform magnification of the vibration and the other the magnification in the resonance. The resonance design shows which floor spans and building heights should be avoided.
