Does strong wind cause your building to sway?


In a tall building some swaying is normal. However, excessive swaying due to strong wind or inability to manage wind-induced vibrations can lead to tenants or visitors feeling discomfort even to the point of nauseous. This also applies to walkways between buildings.


For tenants of a building that is experiencing wind-induced vibration prolonged exposure can lead to health problems. In the short run this can be fatigue and discomfort. Over the long run this can include drowsiness, nausea and apathy. Poor health can impact productivity as a worker requires longer and more frequent breaks to recover from the wind-induced vibration.

To check how much your building is swaying due to the wind you can use our GIMS Wind-Induced Vibration Monitoring System to check the frequency and amplitude of the swaying motion. The measurement which is taken in acceleration indicates how noticeable and potentially uncomfortable the swaying motion is.

The measured data from the system can be uploaded automatically to our cloud storage where you can view the data at any time. You can also customize the dashboard to your monitoring requirements.


Reference standards that apply are :-


ISO 6897:1984

Guidelines for the evaluation of the response of occupants of fixed structures, especially buildings and off-shore structures, to low-frequency horizontal motion (0,063 to 1 Hz)


ISO 10137:2007

Bases for design of structures - Serviceability of buildings and walkways against vibrations

A car manufacturer in Malaysia once had a noise problem. When the engine was running they could hear an outstanding noise that was indicative of a potential problem.


They called a vendor to do a noise measurement to try to pinpoint the source of the noise. However, the vendor could only check the noise level with a noise meter. The source of the undesirable noise could not be narrowed down.


This vendor happened to be a customer so asked for suggestions on what to do. I recommended them to use an acoustic camera. At that time the acoustic camera from the company that first invented it for the mass market cost more than $100K and was out of their budget.


Since that time more acoustic imagers have come on to the market that cost a fraction of the price of the original acoustic camera. For example, the KM V1 Acoustic Imaging Camera is super affordable (when compared to other well known brands) and suitable for the following applications :-


  • Gas Leakage Detection: Precisely identifies and visualizes gas leaks for efficient troubleshooting


  • Partial Discharge Detection: Enables accurate detection of electrical discharge issues to ensure equipment safety and performance


  • Noise Source Localization: Pinpoints and visualizes noise sources, making it invaluable for diagnosing complex acoustic problems


The KM Instruments KMV1 is a cutting-edge device designed to deliver precise and high-quality acoustic imaging, transforming how inspections and measurements are conducted.
