201800874 <br />1.2 VIBRATION BASICS <br />Pile driving much like blasting is an event that can excite adjacent ground creating vibration <br />waves that move through various soil strata reaching structures which have been incorporated <br />into the soil. These structures whether its utility piping, and or building foundations will <br />experience these vibrations. <br />Evaluation criteria for determining vibration impacts due to construction activities do not exist <br />for buried utilities in the United States. We can still evaluate the probability of "damage" to <br />utilities using The US Bureau of Mines (USBM) criteria and methodology and standards as set <br />forth by the BSI British Sta ndar& Institution.Code of Practice for Noise and 1 7brution Control <br />on Construction and Open Sites - Part 2: Vibration.
