Reducing the effect of pile driving on adjacent shallow foundations: an improved investigation

Deep foundations are often constructed using pile-driving techniques, which are inefficient in shallow foundation areas.However, this method creates ground vibrations that may affect surrounding structures, notably weaker ones, as they can develop fractures, experience irregular settlement, deform, or suffer issues related to the longevity of the building.This study comprehensively analyses vibration energy, its possible structural effects, and many mitigation options.The study integrates real measurement data, simulations, and other illustrative examples to make recommendations to reduce construction vibrations effectively.
