 This standard establishes the basic principles for carrying out vibration measurement and processing data, with regard to evaluating vibration effects on buildings. The evaluations of the effects of building vibration are primarily directed at structural response, and include appropriate analytical methods where the frequency, duration and amplitude can be defined. It only deals with the measurement of structural vibration and excludes the measurement of   airborne sound pressure and other pressure fluctuations.
