Abstract:
Traffic in towns, quarry blasting near to towns often cause dynamic loads in buildings like residental houses which are designed for static loads only. . .In this paper it is shown by an analytical approach and numerical time history calculations for beams and beam systems that the vibration velocity is the best kinematic quantity for stress-evaluation.
