Effectiveness of a Trench Filled with Waste Material in Reducing the Propagation of Ground Vibration Induced by Soil Roller Compaction

Abstract: The vibration generated by construction activities is transferred through soil media to the surroundings and has influence on the surrounding structures. However, the response of the structures may depend on the amount of energy received by them. The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of ground vibration induced by soil roller compaction and the effectiveness of waste material in reducing the propagation of the ground vibration. Several construction sites where soil compaction has be… Show more

“…EPS) available in the industry. Since polymers tend to have higher damping than cementations material due to their viscoelastic properties [40] , bottom ash which is rich with cementations properties [26] performs less effectively in vibration screening. According to Liyanapathirana and Ekanayake [21] EPS geofoam can be considered as an effective fill material for ground barriers and hence EPS material filled trenches are considered in the subsequent study on the effects of the other parameters such as impact force, soil elastic modulus and trench location.…”

“…In the current study, characteristics of the ground vibration induced by the impact piling are first investigated experimentally. The effect of a trench filled with coal bottom ash that is rich with cementations properties [26] and the trench dimensions on screening the ground vibration are then analysed experimentally. Later, a numerical model is developed and validated using the present experiment data and then used to investigate the effect of the type of in-fill material, vibratory source, soil medium and location of trench on vibration screening.…”

“…For this comparison, a vector sum of PPV was considered as defined in Ekanayake et al, (2014) [13]. Vibration reduction was attained by increasing the stiffness, often expressed by storage modulus, of the material (Jayawardana et al, [6], Chung [17]). For example, it was found that bottom ash was effective in screening vibration in all three directions due to its high stiffness (Jayawardana et al, [6],), metals and polymers due to their high viscoelasticity (Chung [17]).…”

“…In the renewal of these areas, a wide range of building technologies and practices are often used, among which are those that cause adverse effects in the form of shocks and vibrations [6]. These technologies also include: the building of construction pit walls by piling sheet piles with the aid of a pile-driver [7][8][9] or by means of a pile injected into the rock mass, using various technologies [10,11]; reinforcement of the future sub-bases by vibrating gravel piles [12]; or compaction of the bottom of the construction pit by vibratory techniques [13,14]. All of these technologies are sources of ground vibrations, and the vibrations induced can cause damage to building structures in the vicinity of such works [15], especially historical objects that are not maintained and which are dilapidated in brownfields.…”
