Underground Barrier Protection against the Spread of Vibration - A Model Study

Abstract:

The designs of the buildings are in addition to the static load exposed to ground vibrations spreading from the surrounding geological environment. Ground vibrations, which are produced by anthropogenic phenomena, are not usually the crucial load for the stability of the building. But this load have an adversely affect the walls of buildings or sensitive equipment in these buildings. This article will be deal with model study of underground barriers utilized as a protection against the spread of ground vibrations in geological environment. These underground barriers maybe used in the vicinity of roads or railway lines or in urban areas around the halls with heavy industrial activity. Material of underground barriers will be designed from material with different parameters, so that it could be assessed the best variant in terms of absorption of seismic waves. The different variations of the thickness of underground barriers and different distances from the source of vibration will be designed in the analysis. The analysis will be performed in mathematical models that will be created in the software’s based on the finite element method.
