ABSTRACT
Many experimental investigations performed on real or model soil bases [9.1] — [9.7] have shown that barriers in soil bases may be a very effective means for the vibration screening of objects or zones that are situated immediately behind the barrier. In particular, the barrier can be applied to the propagation of technical seismic effects or vibration evoked by traffic, when the majority of the frequency spectrum components have wavelengths smaller than or comparable to the dimensions of the barrier.
