DIN 4150-3:2016-12

This standard specifies methods of determining and evaluating the effects of vibration on structures designed for predominantly static loading. It covers structures which do not need to be designed to specific standards or codes of practice on dynamic loading. This standard differs from DIN 4150-3:1999-02 as follows: a) the standard has been revised in form and substance; b) subclauses 3.4 (peak vibration velocity), 3.7 (topmost floor), 6.3 (start-up and shutdown operations) and Table 2 (guideline values for underground cavities) have been included; c) an alternative method for evaluating effects of short-term vibration in foundations has been specified; d) the topmost floor has been specified as the part of the building where structural vibration is to be measured and assessed; e) the provisions relating to vibration measurement in buildings have been summarized in Clause 7; f) the status of Annex C has been changed to be normative. This standard has been prepared by NA 005-51-05 AA "Schwingungsfragen im Bauwesen; Einwirkungen auf Bauwerke und Bauteile" ("Vibrations in construction; Actions on structures and elements of structures") at DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NABau) and replaces DIN 4150-3:1999-02.
