Description

The data consists of short examples of vibration signals in buildings. The examples were collected in a project focused on annoyance by vibration from construction work. The examples include tri-axial vibration signals from blasting (tunnels, general and rock extraction), soil compacting, piling, sheet wall piling and construction traffic. The data are shared for use by other researchers.

The zip file contains a table summarising the vibration measurements in Excel and Open Office formats, and a folder with 257 .csv files with raw data from each measurement. The measurements have a unique ID in the file name that is also presented in the Excel file.
