Controlling vibration due to rock socketing
Controlling vibration due to rock socketing
(OP)
I have to solve above specific problem at earliest. Client is going to build a highrise building 5m away from his 7-storeyed existing building. His prime requirement is to keep the vibration level at 0.1g as he's having some delicate communication equipment inside the existing building.
Piling contractors indicated me that this is not possible during rock socketing. Can you please guide me to solve this problem? Details are given below.
Depth to rock = 17m
Pile diameter = 1800mm
Location = Sri Lanka
Thanks,
Clefcon

RE: Controlling vibration due to rock socketing
Drilling the socket will produce some vibration. Suggest that the delicate equipment be removed or shut down during this work, or at least until it can be shown that vibration will not exceed the limit based on monitoring.
A demonstration excavation with monitoring at a more remote location will let you know just what kind of vibrations to expect.

Can you little bit elaborate on peak paticle velocity please?
