How can vibration damage existing structures? There are several factors that combined can generate pathologies in existing buildings due to vibrations, such as: soil type, foundation type, vibration intensity, vibration frequency, etc. The use of numerical techniques to evaluate the behavior of foundations in these cases is indicated. It is known that the use of diaphragm wall barriers, juxtaposed piles or trenches filled with bentonite mud end up minimizing vibrations in the structure (the clos
