Scope

This International Standard establishes the basic principles for carrying out vibration measurement and processing data, with regard to evaluating vi- bration effects on buildings. It does not cover the source of excitation except insofar as the source dictates dynamic range, frequency or other param- eters. The evaluation of the effects of building vi- bration is primarily directed at structural response, and Includes appropriate analytlcal methods where the frequency, duration and amplitude can be de- nned. This international Standard only deals with the measurement of structural vibration and excludes the measurement of airborne sound pressure and other pressure fluctuations although response to such excitations is taken into consideration. A building, for the purposes of this International Standard, is defined as any above-ground structure, which man frequently inhabits. This excludes from consideration certain items of plant, for example columns, stacks, headframe, containments, even though they may receive intermittent visits from op- erating staff. The structural response of buildings depends upon the excitation; to this end this International Standard examines the methods of measurements as affected by the source, ¡.e. frequency, duration, and ampli- tudes as induced by any source, such as earth- quakes, explosions, wind effects, sonic booms, internal machinery, traffic, construction activities and others. NOTE 1 There are differencesbetween earthquakesand man-made vibrations which affect recording conditions. Earthquake-fault-rupture sources are large in size and much deeper than most man-made sources. They can cause damage at great distances, have much greater en- ergy flux and duration and a different pattern of wave propagation.Consequently, for the same parameter value (for example peak particle velocity), the effects on buildings are different.
