A comparison of numerical models results with in-situ measurement of ground vibrations caused by sheet pile driving

Abstract

This paper pursues the effect of changes in distance and vibration frequency on the vibration velocity amplitude. As an example, we used the vibrating sheet piles at the construction of a new multi-functional FEI building on the premises of VŠB - TU Ostrava, at 17 listopadu street. The effect of these changes is monitored both in in-situ measurements and in a simulated real-life situation. The calculation software Plaxis 2D is used for creation of numerical models. At the close, the results from in-situ measurements are confronted with those achieved from the models.
