Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to measure vibration magnitudes on construction projects in terms of particle velocity rather than particle displacement or acceleration. Peak particle velocity was chosen as the best means of measurement after the U.S. Bureau of Mines made a statistical analysis of several reports on vibrations to residential structures and came to the conclusions that "a given degree of damage to a structure is most closely related to the magnitude of the particle velocity of the wave motion passing thru the earth at the structure location." The study was undertaken to determine the magnitude of the problem, if, in fact, one does exist; and if there is a problem, to supply the Legal Section with the information needed to protect the Department from unwarranted suits and to make just settlements.
