ISO 10137:2007 PDF Download

ISO 10137:2007 is a standard that provides guidelines for assessing the serviceability of buildings and walkways against vibrations. It focuses on three aspects: the impact of vibrations on human occupants, the effects on the contents of the building, and the structural response of the building itself.

The standard includes recommendations for evaluating vibrations caused by various sources, such as walking, jumping, machinery, and construction activities. It also provides criteria for acceptable vibration levels based on factors such as the type of activity, the sensitivity of the occupants, and the potential for damage or disruption to equipment.

However, it is important to note that ISO 10137:2007 does not cover bridges that carry vehicular traffic, even if they also accommodate pedestrians. Additionally, it does not address the design of foundations or supporting structures for machinery.
