Provides information required for the determination and evaluation of the effects of vibration on structures designed primarily for static loading, where such information is not given in codes of practice such as in DIN 1072, DIN 4024, DIN 4025, DIN 4133, DIN 4149 Part 1, DIN 4178 and DS 804. It includes guideline values which, if complied with, will not result in damage in terms of a reduction in the utility value of buildings. An impairment of the stability of a structure or a building component and a reduction in the loadbearing capacity of floors are examples of what is meant by reduction in utility value due to the effects of vibration.
