Assessing the potential damage to nearby existing structures from vibrations induced during foundation construction is a complex task. The current practices to prevent damage to existing structures suggest limiting the peak particle velocity (PPV) created during foundation construction activities. Numerous existing structures have suffered damage from foundation construction activities even after full compliance to the current methodology of limiting the PPV. This paper presents an approach to safeguard existing structures adjacent to construction activity through real time dynamic structural evaluation.
