Abstract
In the last few years, concern about vibrations generated by civil engineering work has dramatically increased. The main seismic wave sources are pile and tie-back driving, quarry blasts, drilling operations and road or train traffic. In inhabited areas such vibrations may have an important impact on people and buildings and may constitute a major problem for the environment.
