Evaluation and Measurement for Vibration in Buildings: Guide to Damage Levels from Groundborne Vibration
Also Known As:
BS 7385-2:1993 is a British Standard that provides guidelines and procedures for evaluating and measuring damage levels in buildings caused by groundborne vibration. The standard offers guidance on assessing the potential for vibration-induced damage in buildings from various sources and identifies the factors that influence the vibration response of buildings.
The standard aims to establish a standardized approach for measuring, recording, and analyzing building vibrations, as well as documenting any resulting damage accurately. It considers vibrations of both transient and continuous nature and provides a method for assessing vibrations based on their characteristics, the building, and the measured data.
It is important to note that the standard specifically addresses vibration transmitted through the ground and does not cover vibrations generated by machinery within a building. Additionally, it excludes structures such as chimneys, bridges, chambers, tunnels, and pipelines.
BS 7385-2:1993 should be considered alongside BS 7385-1:1990, another British Standard that complements the guidelines provided in this standard.
