Over the past decade, an increasing number of our clients are building data centers. We have been working with many design teams, developers, and municipalities to understand the noise issues that are involved and methods for reducing noise levels at neighboring properties.
We are often asked to monitor vibration in sensitive facilities while construction is occurring nearby. Although construction vibration monitoring is often used to prevent structural damage of nearby buildings, sensitive facilities require much more precise monitoring.
Intelligent analysis combines effective communication, cross-disciplinary and system level thinking, smart modeling, solutions analysis, and verification. We think high-level thinking is crucial when trying to find a path forward when confronted with a complex problem.
The CRSI has issued a new guide to vibrations of reinforced concrete floor systems. This guide aims to provide a simplified design method for the design professional and general guidelines on how to mitigate vibration issues in new and existing buildings.
Learn about foundation design for dynamic equipment and how to isolate vibration from sensitive receivers. A discussion of the basics of vibration transmissibility through soil, Lysmer’s Analog, and relevant vibration criteria are made using case studies, sample calculations and practical experience.
