Cracking of buildings as a result of vibration led to detailed measurement checks of levels. In some cases the problem was not conventional vibration but fast shock fronts. Theory then suggested that very fast rise times allowed shocks to be much more damaging than test vibrations. This alters permissible damage levels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
