Abstract
A new science and biotechnology research center was to be built in a metropolitan industrial area. There was concern that ground vibration from a nearby freeway, street traffic, and trains on an adjacent railroad would impact vibration sensitive research equipment inside the building. Ground vibration was measured at the project site prior to construction. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used to develop a computer simulation of the building structure using the measured ground vibration as input to the FEA model. The study determined the building floor vibration due to exterior sources would achieve the project’s criteria for the building structure as designed.
