Definition of PPVs according to different codes of practice
| Code of practice | PPV component considered | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| BS 7385-2 (UK; BSI, 1993) | Peak component of PPV PPV = max{vL,max, vV,max, vR,max} | Limit for cosmetic damage of structures due to transient vibrations |
| DIN 4150-3 (German; DIN, 2016) | Peak component of PPV PPV = max{vL,max, vV,max, vR,max} | For continuous vibrations, the peak PPV in the horizontal direction is considered |
| SS 02 52 11 (Swedish; SIS, 1999) | Peak vertical velocity PPV = vV,max × Fb × Fm × Fg | The PPV is further corrected by applying building, material and ground modification factors |
| SN 640-312a (Swiss; SNV, 1992) | Peak vertical velocity PPV = vV,max | Recommendations for four categories of structures are given on the basis of different types of vibration sources |
