Vibrations due to pile and sheet pile driving are known to cause discomfort for people, aswell as damage to nearby buildings and structures. To enable prediction of ground vibration levels itis important to acknowledge the wave patterns induced in the ground to correctly determine whichattenuation model to adopt. This paper presents wave patterns in the ground due to vibratory sheetpile driving based on field measurements from three case studies. The results show different wavepatterns in the ground. At the ground surface the wave patterns are elliptical, resembling Rayleighwaves. At depth in the soil the wave patterns are instead strongly polarized in different directions,indicating the presence of P- and S-waves. Moreover, wave patterns tend to become more irregularwith increasing distance from the source. This paper contributes to an improved understanding ofwave patterns in the ground during vibratory sheet pile driving, forming a platform for thedevelopment of a reliable prediction model.<p>QC 20170320</p
