scope:
The series of guidelines VDI 2038 is concerned with loads which are time-dependent and thus can lead to vibrations in structures and thereby cause problems in buildings, components, machines and equipment or result in annoyance to individuals, either directly or - in the case of individuals and items of equipment - indirectly via emitted secondary airborne sound. However only those loads relevant to serviceability are treated explicitly. Demarcations with respect to neighbouring subject areas will be found in Part 1.
The present part of the guideline, Part 2, as a continuation of Part 1, examines all questions of serviceability as regards shock and vibration. It covers in Section 5 methods of design (analysis, prognosis) and in Section 6 methods of assessing (measuring) the condition of structures. Section 7 summarizes the evaluative criteria for serviceability and Section 8 deals with possible methods of ensuring or improving serviceability.
For subordinate aspects which go beyond the remit of this guideline a selected bibliography is provided.
