11. On Ground and Structural Vibrations Related to Railway Traffic
Abstract : The continuous development and integration of railway infrastructure, especially within urban areas, can cause ground and building vibrations to reach levels that bring discomfort to people. The growing risk of damage to buildings located in areas prone to ground vibration should not be underestimated. READ MORE

12. Vibroacoustic performance of wooden buildings : Prediction and Perception
Abstract : When the Swedish building regulations in 1994 allowed wooden multi-storey buildings to be built, this type of lightweight construction became popular due to its low cost and ease of construction, as well as wood being a plentiful resource in Sweden. However, complaints amid inhabitants are often reported due to nuisances caused by disturbing vibrations and noise propagating in the building. READ MORE

13. Experimental and Numerical Analyses of the Dynamic Behaviour of Hollow-Core Concrete Floors
Abstract : Precast hollow-core (HC) concrete slabs are widely used in construction, especially in Nordic countries. The combination of prestressing and low self-weight due to the voids makes it possible to build long-span floors. However, this also implies that the HC concrete floors become more sensitive to vibrations from human activities. READ MORE

14. Structural Earthquake Response Analysis
Abstract : AbstractEarthquakes are one of the most dangerous natural phenomena causing damage to buildings and other structures as well as injury and death of people. These destructive processes can never be prevented to happen, but their impact on the structures can be minimized. READ MORE

15. Dynamic fail-safe behaviour of steel structures
Abstract : The fundamental behaviour and the capacity of steel structures subjected to loss of interior load-bearing elements are studied. The ultimate load-bearing and deformation capacity of certain beam-to-column connections and the dynamic fail-safe behaviour of some ordinary steel structures are investigated in detail. READ MORE
