In South Korea, the construction of new multi-unit residential structures has been continuously increasing in order to accommodate multiple households in single structures. However, the presence of walls and floors shared with neighbors makes these structures exceptionally vulnerable to floor noise transmission when the noise of everyday life occurs. In particular, South Korea has many social problems associated with such floor noise, which require the utmost attention and immediate resolution. In this study, a 17-story structure was selected as a test structure. Field measurements were carried out. A numerical model for the 17-story structure was developed in order to perform a vibro-acoustic analysis. The validation of the numerical model comparing with the field measurement data results shows a good agreement. Finally, it is concluded that numerical analysis can be applied to resolve floor noise problems arising in multi-unit residential structures.

In this work, research was carried out based on the shield tunnel of metro line 1 in Hangzhou. The construction of this tunnel beneath the sewage pipelines, which have large diameter with water pressure. The project studied in this treatise is relatively rare in China in terms of sewer pipes, the number of sewers, spacing between shield and sewers and the crossing times. A numerical model was established to analyze the construction of metro across the sewage pipelines with water pressure, taking the interactions between tunnel, pipelines and soil into account. The stress of pipelines, settlement of pipelines and ground during the crossing process were calculated. The finite element results were compared with measured results to verify the reliability of numerical results. Some meaningful results were achieved.

This article describes the tests of the pressure distribution on bridge abutment generated by the backfill made of the recycled car tyres compressed in the form of bales with interfaces of medium sands and a buffer layer with tyre shreds. Backfill pressure distribution was measuring continuously over a period of three months using a pressure sensors. Static and dynamic load tests of abutment were conducted and cyclic horizontal displacements of the abutment wall, as a simulation of thermal elongation / shortening of the bridge span were also performed. The results of pressure field measurements were compared with results of numerical analysis performed using the GEO5 program basing on finite element method. Compatibility results of field measurements and numerical analysis was pretty good, and the maximum difference was about 25%. Based on field measurements and numerical analysis, a 2÷4 times reduction of pressure on bridge abutment was found, if the tyre bales had been used, compared to conventional backfilling of medium sand.
