An experiment which was carried out under contract to the Transport and Road Research Laboratory was designed to investigate the effects of road traffic vibrations on house structures.An empty property was acquired and subjected to simulated groundborne and airborne traffic vibration.Adjacent to the vibration source, six test foundation strips were constructed and subjected to varying dead loads.Dynamic behaviour, movement and damage, in both the main structure and the foundation strips, were closely monitored throughout the experiment.This paper describes the simulation and monitoring techniques employed.Further details are given in Ref.1.The reasons for carrying out the experiment are given in Ref.2.
