Guidelines for the evaluation and measurement of damage levels in buildings from groundborne vibration.
Abstract
This British Standard, a part of the BS 7385 series, gives guidance on the assessment of the possibility of vibration-induced damage in buildings due to a variety of sources, and identifies the factors which influence the vibration response of buildings.
This standard is intended to provide a standard procedure for measuring, recording and analysing building vibration together with an accurate record of any damage occurring.
Vibrations of both transient and continuous character are considered. A method of assessment which takes into account the characteristics of the vibration, the building and the measured data are given.
This standard is applicable only to vibration transmitted through the ground and not to vibration set up by machinery within a building. It does not cover chimneys, bridges and underground structures such as chambers, tunnels and pipelines.
History and related standards
This British Standard should be considered together with BS 7385-1:1990.

Taking a personal tone and devised with a focus on practical aspects, Geotechnical Problem Solving bridges the gap between geotechnical and soil mechanics material covered in university Civil Engineering courses and the advanced topics required for practicing Civil, Structural and Geotechnical engineers. By giving newly qualified engineers the information needed to apply their extensive theoretical knowledge, and informing more established practitioners of the latest developments, this book helps readers confidently approach problems having thought through the various options available. Where various competing solutions are proposed, the author systematically guides readers through each option, weighing the benefits and drawbacks of each, to ensure they can approach and solve real-world problems in a similar manner.
Links theoretical and practical work to provide a reference and guide to geotechnical topics
Takes readers through various scenarios helping them to understand how to solve problems efficiently
Provides a perspective on complexity in geotechnical practice
Gives readers the tools they need to understand the principles and history behind the material so that they can handle real-world problems
Covers a broad range of geotechnical topics, including soils, foundations and retaining structures, and provides an introduction to the background and application of geotechnical LRFD
Reading recommendations are given including special articles and references for further study of advanced material
Uses a ‘problem’ and ‘answer’ mentoring approach from the author to the reader to answer many of the reader’s questions
The scope of material covered includes a range of geotechnical topics, such as soil classification, soil stresses and strength and soil self-weight settlement. Shallow and deep foundations are analyzed, including special articles on laterally loaded piles, retaining structures including MSE and Tieback walls, slope and trench stability for natural, cut and fill slopes, geotechnical uncertainty, and geotechnical LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design).

# Publisher: RICS Books (September 30, 2004)

Autogenous deformation of concrete is the free deformation of sealed concrete at a constant temperature. A number of observed problems with early-age cracking of high-performance concrete can be attributed to this phenomenon.
During the last 10 years, this has led to an increased focus on autogenous deformation within both concrete practice and concrete research. Since 1996, there has been enough interest to hold yearly international conferences devoted to this subject.
The papers in this publication were presented at two consecutive half-day sessions at the American Concrete Institute's Fall Convention in Phoenix, Arizona, October 2002. All papers were reviewed according to ACI procedures. This publication and the sessions were sponsored by ACI Committee 236, Material Science of Concrete.
The 12 presentations from eight different countries indicate the broad, global research efforts dealing with autogenous deformation, and the well-attended - of up to 90 people - show that this interest is shared by the general concrete community. Attendees left with an understanding of the complexity of the autogenous deformation of concrete. The sessions showed that cooperation and more research are needed.
At the ACI 2002 Fall Convention, the international materials research organization, RILEM, took steps to promote further research and cooperation within this area. Two technical committees held initial meetings with the involvement of many ACI members. More collaborative research will be carried out.
