Traffic seismicity loaded historical building frequency parameters identification due to most commonly used truck in Slovakia

Abstract

Abstract. Experimental investigation and combination with numerical modelling is one of the progressive method in many scientific areas. The structural dynamics including traffic seismicity effects are also becoming an increasing topic. The aim of this paper was to realize the numerical analysis of heritage Upper Gate in Modra -Slovakia and FEM simulation of the lorry T-815 natural vibration. These subsystems are dominant processes in traffic seismicity vibration effects in buildings. For this purpose the variants of FE model by computing program Scia engineering has been created for building and software ADINA for lorry. These models are important for the assessment of the dynamic vibration transmissibility due to mechanical impact load properties. The results of this simulation was evaluated in frequency area. Next part of the investigation was the realisation of the experimental measurement. The results obtained from the experiment were compared with FE analysis. Using of the theoretical analysis, experimental procedures results and FEM simulation of the natural vibration it seem to be the practical application for engineering practice in prediction and assessment buildings vibration due to seismicity induced by traffic.

Resilience of Historical Public Buildings against Blast in a Context of Monument Preservation

“…A static assessment of bearing structure has to be realized with the knowledge of material characteristics of used elements. Complex dynamical analysis similar as Papan, D. made [18] has to be done. These can be obtained experimentally or using sample assessment if possible (not all materials could be destructively or semi destructively sampled to obtain their precise characteristics).…”
