A guide for users of seismographs equipped with tri-axial geophones

When undertaking civil engineering works that create vibration, for example: piling, compaction, breaking and demolition, it is good practice and may be necessary to show compliance with conditions by monitoring ground-borne vibration. This is achieved using a seismograph in order to prevent damage to structures or nuisance to people…click to read full article
