On the special construction and materials conditions reducing the negative impact of vibrations on concrete structures

This article presents an in-depth review of the different types of dynamic loads that may occur in concrete structures. The full scope of the procedure diagnosing the harmful vibrations in buildings was also presented as well as its main features were characterized. In a broad context, special conditions are described and discussed for buildings that should be met to avoid the harmful effects of vibrations on concrete structures. On the basis of literature studies and own research, practical construction, material and technological guidelines were presented in the scope of limiting the negative impact of vibrations on concrete structures.
