This paper presents a numerical modelling procedure of dynamic loading due to traffic on a two-story residential building. In developing countries cities and towns, poor quality narrow road sections with high traffic density are common. In such cases, ground vibration due to traffic could be higher and lightweight buildings located closer are exposed to traffic-induced dynamic loading. Design codes require a proper assessment of such vibrations. However, a clear and definite procedure of assessment is not usually provided. This research presents an assessment procedure of dynamic loading due to traffic on a soil foundation system of light weight buildings based on numerical modeling. Traffic induced ground vibration acceleration amplitudes, frequencies and durations were measured, and the dynamic loads were calculated from measured vibration accelerations and vibrating mass of the vehicle. A two-story residential building with flexible square shallow footings was modelled together with the foundation soil using PLAXIS-2D. The dynamic load was modelled as harmonic loading considering the highest amplitude of vibration measured. On the calculation stage, static loading analysis, dynamic loading analysis and free vibration dynamic analysis were carried out. A maximum increase in extreme total displacement of the soil to 22.03 mm was observed after the dynamic loading from 18.96 mm extreme total displacement due to static loading. Extreme effective mean stress in the soil increased to 112.81 kPa from 110.5 kPa, due to the dynamic loading. In addition, a differential settlement of 3.14 mm between two adjacent footings was observed after the traffic induced ground vibration. Furthermore, the Mohr–Coulomb plastic points were observed to be concentrated to the side of the soil-foundation system which the dynamic load was acting on. The regular exposure to traffic-induced vibrations may cause frequent change in stress and deformation response of the foundation-soil system. In areas where lightweight buildings are exposed to regular traffic induced vibrations, proper assessment of the effect should be carried out and measures should be taken to mitigate the problem. Improving road surfaces and limiting vehicle speed are possible remedial measures to reduce ground vibrations due to traffic.
