Effect of PC wall-pile barrier weight on isolation behavior against ground vibration

Abstract

PC wall-pile barriers are practically used to isolate ground vibration originated from construction works, factories, road and railway traffics. Their effectiveness has been recognized through a number of past our studies.
In this study, the isolation effect of three PC wall-pile barriers with different weight was examined through field model tests. Three aggregates with different density were used to make PC wall-piles. Also, to generate the ground vibration, 2.5 kilograms weight was used. It was suggested through the field model test results that the weight of PC wall-piles affects their isolation behaviors.
