Long Term Field Measurement of Micro Meter Crack Response to Climatological and Blast Vibration Induced Effects

This paper compares more than two years of micrometer crack displacement response and structural velocity response of a wood frame house adjacent to an operating aggregate quarry. The same transducers that monitor long term, climatologically induced micro-inch crack response also measure dynamic responses induced by blast-induced ground motions, occupant activities, and wind gusts. The two-story house has been expanded several times, is founded...
