• Abstract:
  This report presents the activities conducted by HUTRC in investigating traffic-induced vibration and its impact on residential structures in the District of Columbia. The research is of long term nature and is being conducted in three phases. Phase 1 is the principal focus of this report and presents the investigation conducted by HUTRC, culminating in an experimental plan for conducting field investigation at sixteen (16) sites in Washington, DC. Phase 2 will involve the actual implementation of the research plan developed in Phase 1. Phase 3 will involve the development, implementation and evaluation of techniques to reduce the impact of traffic-induced vibrations on residential structures. It is envisaged that vibration mitigating measures will be implemented within the public right-of-way. Innovations in pavement design practices are likely to be developed, implemented, and evaluated in Phase 3.
