VIBRATION MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS

We can provide the noise measurement and analysis services according to the following:

▶ Building Department Requirement (APP-137)
  • Vibration monitoring for piling/blasting
    General specification for portable seismographs
    Frequency range 2 to 250 Hz, within zero to -3dB of an ideal flat response
    Accuracy +/- 5 % or +/- 0.5 mm/s, whichever is larger, between 4 and 125 Hz
    Transducer density < 2.4 g/cc
    Digital sampling 1000 samples/sec or greater, per channel
    Operating temperature -12 to 49°C
  • Building vibration monitoring with real time online reporting and alarm system.
▶ Building Vibration Requirement for Local Practice
  • Sensitive building (e.g. Hospital) vibration measurement

    The impact and forced vibration tests can determine the modal properties of the floor system and in conjunction with walking tests can determine the floor vibration response including its fundamental frequency, peak acceleration, rms acceleration and velocity, and VDV.

    Impact test, consists of disturbing the structure from its quiescent condition, through a single impulse. The resulting response can be measured with adequate number of accelerometers (9 nos) whose sensitivity - 500mV/g with a range of ±3 g.

    For forced vibration test, a spectrum of vibration from 0 Hz to 10 Hz can be exerted by a generator, which can be accurately controlled to impose both forced frequency and different amplitude. The walking test can be undertaken at critical areas identified from the results of the impact test and forced vibration test.

▶ BEAM PLUS Requirement
  • Indoor vibration – ISO 2631-2 Mechanical vibration and shock -- Evaluation of human exposure to whole-body vibration -- Part 2: Vibration in buildings (1 Hz to 80 Hz)
▶ International Standard as required
