Wave 2002: Wave Propagation - Moving Load - Vibration Reduction: Proceedings of the WAVE 2002 Workshop, Yokohama, Japan, 2002 [Hardcover]

Detailing the proceedings of the Wave 2002 workshop at Okayama University in Japan, this collection of eighteen peer-reviewed papers concerns the issue of the ground vibration and noise caused by construction activities, explosions in the ground, or high-speed trains.
Providing key information for engineers, researchers, scientists, practitioners, teachers and students working in the field of structural dynamics or soil dynamics, this text also includes a useful address list in the appendix to enable readers to gather further information if required.Comprising the proceedings of the Wave 2002 workshop at Okayama University, Japan, this text explores the area of ground vibration and noise caused by construction activities, explosions in the ground, or high speed trains.Nawawi Chouw, Okayama University, Japan, G?nther Schmid Ruhr University Bochum, GermanyGround vibrations and blast induced vibrations, The dynamic response of structures induced by blasting, Characteristics of dynamic response and damage of RC structures to blast ground, Motion, Ground vibrations caused by soil compaction, Analyses on accumulation of propagating ground surface wave under running train, Soil-structure interaction due to moving loads, Numerical simulation of blast wave propagation in soil mass, Moving load Investigation of ground vibrations in the vicinity of a train track embankment, Peculiarities of vibrations of a layered inhomogeneous medium under the action of a load moving on its surface, Investigation on soil-viaduct-pile vibrations induced by passing trains, Vibration reduction, Reduction of response and first excursion probability for random excitation using nonlinear characteristics, Impediment of wave propagation from a moving source via the subsoil into the building, Efficient numerical approach for the analysis of vibrations due to moving load, Enhanced response through supplementary friction damper devices, Nonstationary robust vibration control for moving wire,l3v
