Unfavourable vibrations induced by dynamic sources can cause negative effects on nearby buildings and sensitive equipment. Most of these vibrations propagate in the form of surface (Rayleigh) waves. Mitigation of these vibrations can be achieved in the form of trench barriers, which works by reducin...
