Piling without the impact

Flooding and erosion, driven by climate change, will require extensive ground engineering. This comes with its own environmental impacts. Piling contractors must find ways to deliver this work, while minimising noise and vibration. Will North reports.

Housing company ignored power tool vibration risk

An East Midlands social housing provider has been fined £32,000 after multiple workers were diagnosed with vibration related injuries.

New campaign urges construction to tackle vibration risks

The British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) has launched a campaign to raise awareness of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) in the construction sector. BSIF's 'Bad Vibrations' campaign includes a practical guide designed to cut through technical jargon and help site teams and employers implement effective vibration… The post New campaign urges construction to tackle vibration risks appeared first on Construction News.

Setting a higher standard for flush-frame connections

Flush-frame connections 2.0 are here. Steel joists with flush-frame connections offer up to 35 percent weight savings compared to wide-flange beams, while providing equivalent floor stiffness and vibration performance. The post Setting a higher standard for flush-frame connections appeared first on Construction Specifier.

The Efficient Engineer - Understanding Vibration and Resonance 21102021

This video looks at how vibrating systems can be modelled, starting with the "lumped parameter modeling" approach and "single degree of freedom" models. The video then looks at damping, the dissipation of energy that occurs in all real systems, as well as forced vibration, resonance and multiple degree of freedom models.

Arup - Towards a more sophisticated model for Noise Assessnment

Noise can have a significant effect on the health and wellbeing of those who live and work near its source. At present, planning authorities take a ‘community’ approach to sound, whereby acceptable noise levels are established based on their impact on the entire community. Arup aims to enhance this approach by conducting research into how individuals respond to noise. This could help develop more sophisticated noise assessments

TED Ed (Animation) - Why do buildings fall in earthquakes? 26012015

Earthquakes have always been a terrifying phenomenon, and they’ve become more deadly as our cities have grown — with collapsing buildings posing one of the largest risks. But why do buildings collapse in an earthquake? And how can it be prevented? Vicki V. May explains the physics of why it is not the sturdiest buildings, but the smartest, that will remain standing.
