Abstract
This study investigates the ground-borne vibrations on historically landmarked structures in the city of Antalya due to tram traffic. Assessments are conducted over predicted vibrations with respect to international standards. The study serves as a guidance for the tenders in the upcoming tender process for projects of upgrading existing tram lines as well as construction of new lines. In the prediction procedure, an existing Fourier transform based theoretical model for the track and layered ground is implemented coupling vehicle dynamics. Groundborne vibrations calculated at the base level of structures are considered. Vibration assessment criteria taken from ISO 2631 standard are employed in the evaluations of predicted vibrations at the respective locations in three mutually perpendicular directions.
