Abstract
Three 18th century historic buildings near the Co. Down coast were studied over a six month period during which there were ten Concorde test flights. Demec gauges, glass slides, plumbs, accelerometers were used to measure static and dynamic response of parts of the structure to Concorde's sonic boom. The boom levels experienced at these sites caused no greater response than the environment (weather, people, traffic). At two of the sites no boom damage was observed, however at Castleward house on two occasions a few roof slates were cracked and loosened. No conclusions could be reached as to the cumulative effect on a building of a large number of booms.
