Theoretical Analysis of Traffic Seizmicity Effect on Important Historical Building in Modra Town

Vibration problems of the building structures caused by technical seismicity are becoming an increasing topic. The aim of this paper was to realize the numerical analysis of soil-structure interaction (SI) in the area Modra - Slovakia and FEM simulation of the vibration waves’ propagation from mechanical impact. For this purpose, the variants of model by computing program Scia Engineering have been created. These models are important for the assessment of the dynamic vibration transmissibility due to mechanical impact load properties. We focus on two case studies, namely Upper Gate built in 1610 – 1646 and King Stephen's Parish Church built in 1873 – 1876.Another objective of this paper was to receive results from vibration waves’ propagation FEM simulation mechanical impact involved, which causes structural vibration in buildings including a process of the system SI due to accelerometers. Using the theoretical analysis and FEM simulation of the vibration waves seems to be the practical application for engineering practice in prediction and assessment buildings vibration due to seismicity induced by traffic.
