Actual measurement on vibration propagation of embankment and cut road

Abstract

Institute of Noise Control Engineering of Japan (INCE/J) proposed a prediction model of road traffic vibration "INCE/J RTV Model 2003". The scope of this prediction model is only for flat roads. Prediction of Road Traffic Vibration subcommittee is trying to expand the scope of application. This paper discussed expand the scope for embankment and cut road with actual measurement. Regarding whether the prediction formula for flat roads can be applied to embankment and cutting roads, It is compared with the actual measurement result of a runnning truck on the cutting road. It also describes inpact tests of ground vibration propagation on cut roads.
