Establishes basic principles for carrying out vibration measurement on buildings. Does not cover the source of excitation except insofar as the source dictates dynamic range, frequency or other parameters. Deals only with measurement of structural vibration and excludes measurement of airborne sound pressure and other pressure fluctuations. A building is defined as any aboveground structure, which man frequently inhabits. Excludes certain items of plant, even though they may receive intermittent visits from operating staff. Covers normative references, source related factors, building related factors, quantity to be measured, measuring instrumentation, position and fixing of transducers, data collection, reduction and analysis and method of data evaluation.
