Effects on Drilled Pier Construction on Surrounding structures
Effects on Drilled Pier Construction on Surrounding structures
(OP)
All - I would be grateful if you could point me in the direction of some paper, text or other collection of material that presents a dicussion on the impacts of the drilled pier (shaft) construction on existing structures in the area, buried or not.
I am of mind to start with machine foundations and the ensuing vibrations and work my way from there.
Thanks,
Q

I'll see if I can get a copy of that study...meanwhile you might look as well based on that info.

Qshake - try the ASCE publications search engine. I've found a lot of material in the past there. http://cedb.asce.org/

I often search the ASCE technical papers but this is a first for geotechnical reasons for me.

I've seen some charts that list thresholds of frequency for various experiences such as perception, structural damage etc.
I believe I'm on the right track and your paper will help.

We're just finishing a small project in South Georgia where a complaint was filed about railway vibrations causing residential structural damage. We monitored vibrations on two separate occasions using multiple accelerometers at various distances from the source and at the structures....vibration was not an issue.
The Florida DOT has a guideline for controlling construction vibrations when working near existing structures. I'll see if I can find my copy and upload it as well.
