42nd Annual Conference

Underwater Blasting and Train-Induced Ground Vibrations on 80-Year-Old Building (Room Exhibit Hall)

01 Feb 16
3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Tracks: Poster Session

Speaker(s): Paulo Couceiro
Accused of being the underwater blasting ground vibration the main responsible of worsening the state of the structure, particle velocity time-histories generated by blasting and trains were monitored and studied by using spectral techniques in order to evidence the huge seismic impact generated by the trains rather than underwater blasting.
