Assessing and counteracting the ground and structure borne vibration issues arising from urban development is an ongoing challenge for the acoustics profession.
Temporary effects arise from demolition, general construction activities, piling and tunnelling. Measuring and controlling the effects of vibration can be particularly challenging when existing buildings share a party wall with the development/redevelopment site.
The pressure on land for residential and non-residential development has generated a need to build above and/or adjacent to railways. The need to be able to predict and optimally minimise the adverse groundborne vibration and noise effects upon future occupants is essential to ensure that these developments are fit for purpose.
This one day meeting aims to enable practitioners and academics to showcase how they have tackled (or are tackling) this challenging area of work and share lessons learned.
