Abstract :

Viation are one of many environmental factors that acts on a buildings and potentially reduce their lifetime. Viation are most frequently blamed for deterioration of historic buildings. This paper discussed the measurement of viation amplitude generated due to road traffic at historical structures and correlate them with the various damage criteria for building elements. There are number of common viation sources like road and rail traffic, blasting, earthquake, sonic boom, construction viations and machinery viation. Viations arising from road and rail traffic and its effect on historic buildings have become a subject of concern in modern world especially amongst the residential areas. There may be concern about possibility of adverse long–term effects of viations on historic buildings, especially those in a weak condition. Here discussed the max. peak particle velocity generated due to road traffic at two historic structures in Ahmedabad.
