Abstract

This paper mainly concerns the field study, to assess the geometric attenuation parameters of surface amplitude due to installation of impact pile casing driving for two cases, like (1) single pile casing driving (2) simultaneous two pile casing driving. The peak particle velocity (PPV) have been monitored at different radial distances (0–30 m) for varying depth of pile driving (0–28 m). The geometric attenuation parameters have been determined by considering the three important aspects (1) effects on amplitude of motion of soil particles with respect to radial distances (2) effects on peak particle velocity versus vibration energy for the corresponding radial distance (Energy-Attenuation Model) and (3) effects on ratio of vibration amplitude with respect to corresponding ratio of radial distances (velocity ratio model). Finally, the values of geometric attenuation parameters have been compared with previous research studies and existing theoretical attenuation laws.
