Abstract

Ground vibration can change ground properties and cause ground slope instability, decrease of foundation bearing capacity or foundation failure if liquefaction occurs and increased settlement. Not many cases are reported concerning ground vibration effects on change of soil properties except for earthquakes, which cause greater amplitudes and smaller number of cycles than other sources of ground vibrations.
