Vibration Serviceability Assessment of a Residential Building

Abstract:

According to the vibration in a residential building, a field investigation was conducted. Using the elimination strategy, the primary vibration source was determined, the vibration serviceability of the residential building was assessed by the environmental vibration tests, and the measures for vibration reduction were proposed. The results show that the vibration in the residential building is caused by 5 textile mills nearby, among which, Mill II has significant effect on the residential building. By applying the measures for vibration reduction to Mill II and reinforcing the residential building, the vibration serviceability can be improved.
