The soil media is assumed to be linear elastic, isotropic, and homogeneous subjected to a vertical harmonic load producing steady-state vibration. The present model is validated by comparing it with previously published works. The key geometrical features of a trench, i.e., its depth, width, and distance from the source of excitation, are normalized with respect to the Rayleigh wavelength. The attenuation of vertical and horizontal components of vibration is studied for various trench dimensions against trench locations varied from an active to a passive case. Results are depicted in non-dimensional forms and conclusions are drawn regarding the effects of geometrical parameters in attenuating vertical and horizontal vibration components. The screening efficiency is primarily governed by the normalized depth of the barrier. The effect of width has little significance except in some specific cases. Simplified regression models are developed to estimate average amplitude reduction factors. The models applicable to vertical vibration cases are found to be in excellent agreement with previously published results.展开更多

The ground vertical amplitude was analyzed behind the single row cast-in-place concrete thin-wall pipe pile after the source vibration, and the influencing factors were also studied. The results indicate that in the one time of wavelength before the barrier, the oscillation amplitude is weakened; meanwhile the range which covers 4 times wavelength behind the barrier has a good vibration isolation effect, when the distance is larger than the barrier latter 4 times wavelength vibration isolation expiration.展开更多

An investigation has also been performed on how to solve the problems of simulating transient vibration in actual foundation with FEM, and the result of calculating to the real transient vibration of actual foundation with FEM software ANSYS agrees with that of measuring. The vibration variation in the ground and the uneven subsidence of the factory houses’ pillars, with and without barrier vibration isolation, are calculated by employing FEM. The results show that proper barrier isolation can diminish the ground vibration displacement but likely to magnify the dynamic stress and vibration frequency within a certain region, which would aggravate the uneven subsidence of the factory house pillars.展开更多
