This document establishes general guidance for the preliminary determination of vibration in construction. It describes vibration sources, the propagation of vibration in the ground and its transmission to structural installations. With the pre-determined values, an initial assessment can be carried out. The information in this document is not sufficient for a detailed prognosis. This document is to be applied in accordance with DIN 45669-1 for the frequency range up to 80 Hz or up to 315 Hz
