Estimation of Additional Foundation Deformations Caused by Dynamic Loading in Urban Areas

New methodology for the evaluation of additional soil deformations under the building foundations in conditions of prolonged vibration and to test this technique on the existing buildings has been developed. The main objectives of the research is to characterize the vibration field of the city of Moscow and to study the factors that influence the dynamic stability of a building’s foundation. The proposed methodology is based on the results of laboratory dynamic tests.
