ABSTRACT

Recently the ground vibration problems are prominent in the urban densely populated area because of the closeness of habited area with the environmental vibration sources. This paper shows the development of ground vibration isolation barrier consisting by group of circular drains embedded into the soil. Several field model test and experimental construction of isolation barrier near the commercial railway were done to verify the effectiveness of proposed technology. Effectiveness of this method was proved through these field tests. Numerical analysis by 2-D FEM with proper employment of the properties of barrier material explain the results of these field tests that shows the possibility of design of this vibration reduction barrier the site where ground vibration problems occurs.
