Abstract
Using the spectral element method (SEM), a 2-D numerical model of multi-storey frame structures has been developed. The model has been used to predict traffic-induced vibrations of two, six, and twelve-story concrete buildings measured along the route of a future metro line in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Vibration simulations of the six-storey frame match satisfactorily the measured dynamic response. However, there is a difference between numerical simulation and the actual measurements for the two-storey and twelve-story buildings. The results indicate a great potential of the proposed SEM to simulate ground-induced vibrations of frame buildings. However, more complex structural models should be developed to better replicate actual situations.
