Digest 403 Damage to structures from ground-borne vibration

Publication Year

1995

Document Status

Current

Abstract

Ground-borne vibrations from civil engineering, blasting or traffic often cause noticeable vibrations in buildings. Householders are occasionally worried that vibrations might damage their property and this can be a significant cause of distress. Guidance levels for damage from ground-borne vibration were introduced in two British Standards in 1992 and 1993. This Digest gives information on the current UK position concerning damage to buildings. A guide to evaluation of human exposure to vibration is given in BS 6472 but is not considered here.
