Pile Driving Contractors Association Presentation on Pile Driving Vibrations

Speaker: Dr. Catherine Aimone-Martin, President, Aimone-Martin Associates, LLC

Date: Tuesday, August 3, 2021 from 11::00am until 1::00pm

Topic:  Pile Driving Vibrations - Monitoring and Analysis

RSVP: Register Online

Summary: Best practices used to monitor and manage ground and structure vibrations during pile driving will be presented. The webinar will address the origins and justifications of vibration limits found in many pile driving project specifications. The use of seismographs to develop a site vibration attenuation model will be explained and illustrated with examples from projects where claims of structure damage were circumvented or easily refuted based on sound measured data.

At the conclusion of the webinar, attendees will understand the following:

  • Regulated limits placed on pile driving operations measured at structures are very conservative and well below the limits that could possibly cause cracking in structures.

  • The use of seismographs deployed by qualified vibration specialists to record ground and structures motions coupled with a site attenuation model is essential to defend pile driving operations and meet construction schedules.

Upon completion of the webinar program, you will receive up to 2.0 Professional Development Hours (PDH).
