Abstract
Abstract: Ground vibration is a significant geo hazard that might detrimentally affect civil engineering designs and constructions. Vibrations caused by heavy vehicles, mining railway, traffic and other construction activities have become the major reason for ground vibrations. These destructive vibrations can be isolated by providing open or in filled trench barriers as it creates material discontinuity. In this study the performance of coir composite in filled trenches in mitigating ground vibration experimentally as well as numerically by using PLAXIS 2D software is carried out by varying different parameters such as geometrical parameters, source distance, load intensities etc. It was observed that the proposed trench having coir and latex components in equal proportions can efficiently isolate the ground vibrations.
