	Summary:
	Simple numerical model for prediction of traffic induced vibration in buildings using wall-rigid floor-soil model is presented in this paper. Only vertical vibrations are considered. The wall is modeled using the axial spectral element, the rigid floor is modeled using effective inertial forces and the effect of soil is taken into account by the dynamic stiffness of rigid foundation on viscoelastic half space. The developed numerical model is used to predict vertical vibrations of 2-, 6- and 13-storey buildings. The calculated building vibrations are compared with the corresponding measured vibrations. The predicted responses closely mimicked the measured ones.
