We propose to use arrays of resonant structures buried around sensitive locations as protection against surface seismic waves. The resonant structures consist of concrete tubes containing a steel mass suspended by soft bearings. We verify their design numerically and on a scaled experimental campaign. The arrays attenuate and redirect Rayleigh waves within the [1–10Hz] frequency range.

Abstract
We propose to use arrays of resonant structures buried around sensitive locations as protection against surface seismic waves. The resonant structures consist of concrete tubes containing a steel mass suspended by soft bearings. We verify their design numerically and on a scaled experimental campaign. The arrays attenuate and redirect Rayleigh waves within the [1–10Hz] frequency range.File in questo prodotto:
