Abstract: The vibration caused by percussion boring in urban area will affect the people in surrounding areas. Taking the acceptable vibration degree into consideration, a control standard acceptable for people and buildings is proposed based on domestic and international specifications and standards. Monitoring of the vibration in different aspects was made for the adjacent buildings, and the people nearby were investigated as well. The standard was proved to be reasonable in controlling the vibration so that the construction of the project can be carried out and the plan can be achieved.

Key words: mechanical percussion boring cast-in-situ pile construction , vibration of the percussion , building, people’s feelings, particle vibration velocity , standard of bearable vibration
