Abstract
Traffic seismicity is the current phenomenon, and the impact of traffic seismicity on monumental buildings has significant importance. This paper discusses the results of three different case studies, where the impact of traffic seismicity is important. These buildings were selected as case studies, due to a short distance from the source of the vibrations, respectively the traffic lines. All these three buildings are historically significant in their region. The contribution is focused on experimental results and on numerical analysis of building structures. Works of this and similar character supports to the establish and determinate limit criteria in assessing the dynamic response to the effects of traffic seismicity. For this reason, it is important to realize a great amount of measurements, that such conclusions can be expressed. This requirement is based on insufficient legislation and standards in technical field in Slovakia.
