Abstract
Construction and industrial dynamic sources can produce environmental vibration problems for adjacent and remote structures. High vibrations and unacceptable dynamic settlements could disturb sensitive devices and people and even be the cause of structural damage. The dynamic sources, the geology at a site, and the condition of structures affect ground and structure vibrations. Each construction or industrial site is unique and requires consideration of specific approaches at the site for decreasing vibration effects of construction activities or industrial dynamic sources on surrounding structures. Specifications prepared for a site, calculation and prediction of expected vibrations, and monitoring and control of ground and structural vibrations provide the rational to select measures for prevention or mitigation of vibration problems.

Soil and Structure Vibrations from Construction and Industrial Sources
Arlington, Virginia
Construction and industrial dynamic sources can produce environmental vibration problems for adjacent and remote structures. High vibrations and unacceptable dynamic settlements could disturb sensitive devices and people and even be the cause of structural damage. The dynamic sources, the geology at a site, and the condition of structures affect ground and structure vibrations. Each construction or industrial site is unique and requires consideration of specific approaches at the site for decreasing vibration effects of construction activities or industrial dynamic sources on surrounding structures. Specifications prepared for a site, calculation and prediction of expected vibrations, and monitoring and control of ground and structural vibrations provide the rational to select measures for prevention or mitigation of vibration problems.
