Konon, W and Schuring, J R (1985) Vibration criteria for historic buildings. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 111(3), pp. 208-215. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
The 2.0 in./sec (50 mm/s) peak particle velocity criterion traditionally used to protect structures from construction-induced vibration damage is nonconservative for historic and sensitive older buildings. The relevant parameters which must be considered in establishing vibration criteria for historic and sensitive older buildings are examined. Existing criteria by past investigators are reviewed and a new criterion for this class of structure is recommended.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
