Traffic-induced vibrations of frame structures

A paper titled "Traffic-induced vibrations of frame structures" (Marija Nefovska Danilovic, Mira Petronijevic, Branko Šavija), related to Branko Šavija's diploma thesis work, has been published in the Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering.

Abstract:

"Using the spectral element method (SEM), a 2-D numerical model of
multi-storey frame structures has been developed. The model has been
used to predict traffic-induced vibrations of two, six, and twelve-story
concrete buildings measured along the route of a future metro line in
Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Vibration simulations of the six-storey
frame match satisfactorily the measured dynamic response. However,
there is a difference between numerical simulation and the actual
measurements for the two-storey and twelve-story buildings. The results
indicate a great potential of the proposed SEM to simulate
ground-induced vibrations of frame buildings. However, more complex
structural models should be developed to better replicate actual
situations."
