Ground & Building Vibration Causes
Ground and building vibration measurement is the recording of the undesirable vibration caused by several factors, some of which include:
|
Large machines (for example heavy-duty compressors) |
|
Construction machinery (for example pile-driving equipment) |
|
Heavy vehicle traffic (for example trains and trucks) |
|
Building construction and excavations (for example bulldozers, hydraulic rock breakers) |
|
Roadway and expressway construction (for example vibratory rollers) |
Ground Vibration Effects
The effects of ground vibration fall into 3 main categories, 1. human exposure 2. building contents 3. building structures.
Ground vibration may:
|
Disturb or inconvenience occupants of nearby buildings or residents |
|
Disturb the contents of nearby building - e.g. rattling, shaking or movement |
|
Cause structural damage - nearby building or structures may be compromised |
Ground & Building Vibration Logging
Building and ground vibrations can be measured using a variety of vibration instruments known as vibration loggers. A vibration logging meter works in tandem with a vibration transducer to pick up and record the actual degree of vibration at a specific location or building site.
