Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the vibration effect from different types of trucks passing through interprovincial highway road No. 12 to the community areas. The Peak Particle Velocity and frequency of Zero crossing and Fast Fourier Transform of an individual truck running on a highway road were obtained by the vibration meter. In the first experiment, vibration and speed data were collected from 238 identified trucks weighing from 5 to 50.5 tons and speeds ranging from 51 to 80 km/hr. All these experiment trucks run through the highway balance station regarding weight inspection with camera records. The second experiment was conducted by installing the vibration meter on two buildings located by the roadside in the community area, which is adjacent to the traffic light. The results showed that the vibrations generated by trucks were dominated by vertical waves and Peak Particle Velocity was correlated with the weight and speed of trucks. Interestingly, significant differences in vibration data between two types of trucks, semi-lorry and full-lorry trucks, were found. The impact of vibration on the community was minimized following the Deutsches Institut fur Normung E.V. (DIN) standard which had no significant effect on buildings and the vibration perception was at a level where it was possible to feel the vibration when compared to the guidelines by Whiffin and Leonard.
