potential impacts of vibrations generated by construction activities, industrial machinery, transportation, or other sources on buildings and surrounding environments. This process involves measuring and analyzing vibrations to assess their amplitude, frequency, and duration. The assessment aims to identify potential structural damage to buildings, disturbance to occupants, and environmental impacts such as noise and ground settlement.
Conducting a Building and Ground Vibration Assessment is crucial for preventing structural damage, ensuring occupant comfort, and mitigating environmental impacts. It provides the basis for developing vibration control measures, including vibration isolation techniques, construction practices, and operational procedures to minimize vibrations.
Additionally, this assessment guides decision-making regarding project planning, site selection, and regulatory compliance to reduce the risk of adverse effects from vibrations. It also plays a vital role in communicating risks to stakeholders and implementing measures to protect buildings, infrastructure, and the surrounding environment from excessive vibration levels
