Abstract

Nowadays, there are a lot of ongoing construction projects at nearby existing building and residential area. Each construction will have many effects such as environmental effect and damage effect on the existing infrastructure and building. The effects of construction activities include piling work to existing infrastructure or building produce settlements and cracks. This effect is usually caused by vibration effect from construction work. This study represents a research on the effect of vibration during piling installation that is generated by hydraulic piling machine for drainage located at construction site as damage object. All the data were recorded by Labview Signal Express Software and analysed by Microsoft excel. The result from the analysis of the relationship between the vibration with the distance showed that the vibration decreased when the distance increased. Other than that, it showed that all the vibration values were lower that the vibration limit.

Highlights

  • Construction industry is one of the sectors that contribute to the development of a country

  • The other effect of construction is concerned with the existing infrastructure or building like settlement and crack. This effect is usually caused by vibration effect from construction work (Musir & Ghani, 2013; Lewis & Davie, 1993)

  • Other effects of construction include the effect on the existing infrastructure or building like settlement and crack

Summary

Introduction

Construction industry is one of the sectors that contribute to the development of a country. Deckner et al (2015) approved that a lot of houses and infrastructure were constructed close to the existing structure and on land under poor ground condition. The future development will give many benefits to citizens, but each construction will have many effects such as environmental effect and damage effect on the existing infrastructure and building (Massarsch, 2004). The other effect of construction is concerned with the existing infrastructure or building like settlement and crack. This effect is usually caused by vibration effect from construction work (Musir & Ghani, 2013; Lewis & Davie, 1993). According to Massarsch (2004), the construction activities generate the vibration during the driving of pile/sheet pile
