Noise and vibration nuisance in residential and office buildings near to traffic tunnels can be prevented by paying attention to vibration isolating and reducing measures at the tunnel and/or the building whilst in the design phase. A vibration prognosis, supported by local measurements, enables optimal tuning of noise and vibration reducing measures to the local situation. This article explains the evaluation criteria and elaborates upon the noise and vibration isolating measures applied to the Souterrain Tramtunnel in The Hague intended to prevent nuisance in the residential and office buildings near to the tunnel.
