Abstract
The topics covered by this report are: a detailed review of the literature on ground vibrations from compaction, piling, tunnelling and the mechanised construction and ground improvement techniques; a review of national and European standards providing threshold values for damage and intrusion by ground borne vibration; the acquisition of field data from construction sites for most types of vibratory site operations; the execution of a full-scale trial to investigate groundborne vibration caused by vibratory compaction plant; analysis of the vibration data acquired from construction sites, the full scale trial and other research; prediction of vibration from mechanised construction operations.
