Technical Note TN 142 Ground-borne vibrations arising from piling

Publication Year

1992

Document Status

Current

Abstract

Vibrations, generated by impact and vibratory methods and transmitted through the ground, affect people and, sometimes, property. This Project Report introduces the subject of ground vibrations and how they are propagated. It describes requirements and controls that may be imposed on piling or similar work. The potential effects of different intensities of vibration, as perceived by people nearby and as experienced by structures, are described with reference to available criteria and standards. Comparisons are made between the case-record vibrations from different piling systems and at different distances, and the results are expressed in ways which will allow engineers to make a preliminary appraisal of the vibrations which might be expected on a projected piling or ground treatment site. Recommended procedures are summarised for minimising nuisance, for controlling and monitoring the vibrations and for carrying out an reporting studies of ground-borne vibrations from piling. In addition to references cited in the text some additional relevant texts are listed.
