In this context, an experimental test site was selected and characterized, where ground-borne vibrations induced by the application of a low dynamic loading on the pile head were measured using accelerometers placed at the ground surface. At the same time, a new numerical approach, based on a coupled FEM-PML (Finite Element Method-Perfectly Matched Layer) formulation, to model the pile\u2013ground system was presented. A very satisfactory agreement was observed between the experimental data collected in these experiments and the prediction performed by the numerical model. The experimental data can be also used by other authors for the experimental validation of their or other prediction models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vibration5040049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,18]],"date-time":"2022-11-18T06:22:28Z","timestamp":1668752548000},"page":"829-845","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Vibrations Induced by a Low Dynamic Loading on a Driven Pile: Numerical Prediction and Experimental Validation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2224-8977","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aires","family":"Cola\u00e7o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CONSTRUCT-FEUP, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias s\/n, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Pedro Alves","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CONSTRUCT-FEUP, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias s\/n, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Cec\u00edlia","family":"Parente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CONSTRUCT-FEUP, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias s\/n, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5069-1714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed M.","family":"Abouelmaty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CONSTRUCT-FEUP, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias s\/n, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transportation, College of Engineering and Technology, Giza 3650111, Egypt"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"733","DOI":"10.1002\/acm2.12386","article-title":"Quantifying construction vibration effects on daily radiotherapy treatments","volume":"19","author":"Hindmarsh","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
