• 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.
