DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe entire field of construction-induced vibrations - including advances in earthquake engineering, nuclear blast protective design, and construction and mine blasting - is covered in this work. Frequency of vibration and strain form the foundation for the presentation of the material.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents a comprehensive introduction to the field of structural vibration reduction control, but may also be used as a reference source for more advanced topics. The content is divided into four main parts: the basic principles of structural vibration reduction control, structural vibration reduction devices, structural vibration reduction design methods, and structural vibration reduction engineering practices. As the book strikes a balance between theoretical and practical aspects, it will appeal to researchers and practicing engineers alike, as well as graduate students.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis synthesis report describes current practice in mitigating nighttime construction nuisances such as noise, vibration, light, and dust. Roadway construction work is increasingly done at night to mediate traffic congestion; however, this trend also increases the potential for disturbing adjacent property owners. This report will be of interest to department of transportation (DOT) construction, design, and project engineers, and to those responsible for community relations. This report of the Transportation Research Board stresses the importance of informing project neighbors and establishing cooperative relations with the community as a first measure of successful mitigation. Examples show how project design can address construction nuisances by locating and sequencing construction operations to minimize their impact. Current practices used in source control, path control, and receptor control are described and documented in examples from the Boston Central Artery/Tunnel project and projects in Arizona and Salt Lake City, Utah. Appended materials provide sample specifications for mitigation of noise and dust control.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDamage to structures due to vibrations from pile driving operations is of great concern to engineers. This research has stemmed from the need to address potential damage to concrete-filled pipe piles and recently placed concrete structures that could be affected by pile driving vibrations. The study will focus on two topics: (1) The attenuation of potentially damaging pile driving vibrations with distance from the source, and (2) The effects of distance and curing time of concrete on the quality (unconfined compressive strength) of recentlyplaced concrete exposed to pile driving vibrations. The effects of pile driving vibrations did not cause problems with concrete compressive strength except for the case where concrete had only cured for 4 to 6 hours before vibration.

Natke, Hans Nussbaumer, Anthony J. Pretlove, Johann H. Rainer, Ernst-Ulrich Saemann, Lorenz Steinbeisser. Large structures such as factories, gymnasia, concert halls, bridges, towers, masts and chimneys can be detrimentally affected by vibrations. These vibrations can cause either serviceability problems, severely hampering the user's comfort, or safety problems. The aim of this book is to provide structural and civil engineers working in construction and environmental engineering with practical guidelines for counteracting vibration problems. Dynamic actions are considered from the following sources of vibration: - human body motions, - rotating, oscillating and impacting machines, - wind flow, - road traffic, railway traffic and construction work. The main section of the book presents tools that aid in decision-making and in deriving simple solutions to cases of frequently occurring "normal" vibration problems. Complexer problems and more advanced solutions are also considered. In all cases these guidelines should enable the engineer to decide on appropriate solutions expeditiously. The appendices of the book contain fundamentals essential to the main chapters.
