These include buildings and other engineered structures such as dams, retaining walls, buried conduits, etc. This vibration should be compared to the maximum amount of vibration allowed for that type of structure.</p><p><strong>Accuracy and Precision<br></strong>Vibration monitoring can accurately measure the impact-induced vibrations on structures near the site.</p><p><strong>Adequacy of Coverage<br></strong>Each structure usually only requires one monitoring instrument.</p><p><strong>Implementation Requirements<br></strong>Vibration monitoring devices are easy to set up and read.</p><p><strong>General Comments<br></strong>Vibrations should be monitored in any deep dynamic compaction program that is performed near sensitive structures.</p></p>
