ESTABLISHING THE SIGNIFICANT PARAMETERS FOR APPRECIATING THE SEVERITY OF TRANSMITTED VIBRATION TO BUILDINGS

Abstract

It is already known that vibration and shock can cause harmful effects on people, equipment, machinery, installations and buildings of any kind, from unpleasant to dangerous (which may destroy, damage). What is passed after the occurrence of vibration and shock, it can be measured and appreciated if you can identify a number of characteristic parameters. Through this study, the author seeks to establish, as accurately, the main parameters which must be considered when is desired the assessing of the severity of vibration transmitted to the buildings. It will be analyzed cinematic usual sizes (displacement, velocity and acceleration), the temporal size (frequency, respectively pulsation or period) and criteria for assessing the effects of vibration (efficient velocity, intensity of the vibration, the perception degree of vibration).
