Abstract:Construction activities such as pile driving and
dynamic compaction of loose soils induce ground
and structure vibrations. Their effects may annoy
local populations, disturb sensitive equipment, or
reduce structures’ serviceability and durability.
How construction vibration will affect local
structures is a complex issue that depends on
vibration source, structure and composition
of the ground transmitting the vibrations, and
condition of structures or sensitivity of equipment
subjected to the vibration. Proximity is important,
but low frequency vibrations may have an
effect at unexpected distances. To mitigate the
vibratory effects of construction, it is necessary to
understand each of these factors.
