Building structures in the vicinity of above-ground or underground transport lines are loaded by vibrations excited by the passage of motor vehicles or trains. These vibrations propagate as technical seismicity effects through the soil to the foundations of buildings in the vicinity of their source. Due to its tuning the building structure usually amplifies the effects of technical seismicity. These vibration levels may have an impact on people working or living in the buildings, or on sensitive equipment installed in the buildings.
