Abstract
Vibrations from different sources can propagate through the soil mass and excite the supported structures. Prolonged exposure to these vibrations might cause adverse effects on both the building and its occupants. These vibrations should be quantified and checked for the permissible limits, as recommended by the relevant standards. The vibrations induced in a building due to dynamic load tests on pile groups conducted in the vicinity were measured and reported in this article. Acceleration and velocity time histories were measured at the source of vibration and different floors of the nearby building. The vibration parameters, in terms of peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), pseudo-spectral acceleration (PSA), and predominant frequencies (f), were obtained from the recorded responses and compared with the maximum permissible limit recommended in the relevant standards and codes of practice. The results show that the predominant frequencies obtained from acceleration and velocity time histories were well within the permissible limits. However, a considerable amplification in the vertical component (Z) vibration was observed when compared to the lateral components (X and Y).
