Mitigation Methods to Control Traffic-Induced Vibration on Mono-Column Structure

Due to the swift development of urbanisation through mega infrastructure projects and also due to the development of multipurpose vehicles, it is extremely important to support long-term subsidies in metropolitan cities. Many buildings have been built near railway bridges, subway and high-traffic roads. Transportation-based vehicle interaction with buildings will induce ground vibrations that affect the long-lasting properties of these structures. These induced vibrations are passed through the soil media. It includes a variety of trenches, such as trenches of different depths, open trenches and even a completely filled type of trench with different materials that can be used to dampen vibrations. Soil regions are modelled on multiple levels, and the load model is set through a series of successive moving loads. Then, a parametric model of the structure of a single column is performed. The performance of different parameters can be identified based on the distance of the trenches, the depth and the level of vibration attenuation.
