• Abstract:
  The overriding purpose of this research was to develop a comprehensive framework to address ; vibration issues prior to and during construction, including calculation of anticipated ground ; vibrations during project design, condition surveys of structures, vibration limits, mitigation ; strategies to control ground and structural vibrations from construction sources, and ; recommendations for improvement of current FDOT Specifications. Using the field data specific to ; Florida as collected and sorted over the course of this research, simple equations were developed ; to calculate the maximum peak particle velocity (PPV) of expected ground vibrations prior to ; construction operations. This research also provided a comprehensive review of and guidelines for ; pre-construction condition surveys, analysis of the effects of different factors on vibration limits, ; accompanied by a comparison of the criteria from diverse sources, a summary of the existing ; preventive and counteractive vibration mitigation techniques used by the industry, and a review of ; effective mitigation measures to decrease vibration effects from roadway and bridge construction ; operations in Florida. Finally, the relevant findings of this research were compiled under ; “Recommendations for Improvement of FDOT Specifications.” These recommendations cover a ; broad base, including pile driving operations and their vibration effects, survey of sites and ; structures, mitigation measures, calculation of PPV prior to construction, and vibration limits.
