Industry Standards of Ground Vibration PPV Limits and Associated Distress
Publication: Forensic Engineering 2018: Forging Forensic Frontiers
ABSTRACT
The peak particle velocity (PPV) threshold limit for damage of structures due to ground vibrations has been a topic of great interest and engineering debate throughout the years. However, the most accepted industry standard since 1980 regarding the PPV limit for damage of structures was established through a series of studies sponsored by the United States Bureau of Mines (USBM). Since then, other researchers and government agencies have conducted studies to establish the damage limits due to ground vibrations from other sources, including traffic, construction, demolition, pile driving, and geophysical exploration. Presented herein, is a summary of the most common standards utilized by various governing bodies and industries when ground vibrations are a potential cause of distress.
