Sensor Locations

FWD vs. Roller

Falling Weight Deflectometer

– Impact Load (Falling weight)

– Peak load range: 1.5 to 27 kips

– Typical peak load magnitude = 9 kips

Vibratory Roller

– Continuous vibration

– Operating weight range: 3 to 30 kips

Both induce ground vibration!

Identification of Vibration Sensitive Areas

A practical methodology for identifying vibration sensitive areas

– Vibratory compaction not recommended

Use FWD time histories to predict the ground oscillation from vibratory rollers

Vibration Descriptor

Peak Particle Velocity (PPV)

Correlates well with damage and complaints

Particle movement is mostly in vertical direction

Measured by Falling Weight Deflectometer

Vibration Criteria

Human perception

– Subjective; depends upon individuals and circumstances

Human annoyance

– Subjective; uncomfortable for some individuals

Architectural damage

– Superficial damage such as hairline cracks in plaster

Structural damage

– Cracking in foundation, separation of masonry blocks, etc.

Office of Surface Mines – US Bureau of Mines

Based on Architectural damage of low-rise residential structures
