< W-E,N-S,Z;

< 4 strike points;

< 10 strikes for each point.

CONCLUSIONS

Comparing results , recorded ante-post operam, we have regi stered:

For each pulsepulse , this configuration reduces the length of the recording in t heconfiguration post-operam thanks to the increae of the damp ing factor ;

This configuration significantly reduces the smaximum spectral amplitudeamplitude forfor thethecomponentscomponents inin thethe horizontalhorizontal planeplane ;

There are increases of the values for the vertical component probably attributable toproblems related to the laying ot the rubber mats.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Improving the laying of the rubber mats:

It would be of considerable interest, not being in literatur e, realizing a correct protocol forthe laying of the rubber mats inside the road pavement;

It would be desiderable to be able to perform test in situ and i n laboratory in order tocontrol all the variables for the real scale experimentt.

Improving the data analysis:

It would be interesting investigate the causes that generat e the amplifications of themaximum spectral amplitude for the vertical component in th e plane;

Could be very interesting investigate a scheme to laying the rubber mats case by case inorder to reduce the amplifications which damage the buildin gs.
