Ground vibrations refer to the oscillations or seismic waves that propagate through the ground due to various sources. These vibrations can be caused by natural events like earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic activity, as well as human activities such as construction, heavy machinery operation, blasting, and traffic. Ground vibrations can be measured in terms of amplitude, frequency, and duration, and their effects can vary based on the soil type, depth, and distance from the source.
