2. Acceleration values for the base curve in figure 3
3. Velocity (peak) values for the base curve (curve 1)
in figure 5

5. Multiplying factors used to specify satisfactory
magnitudes of building vibration with respect to
human response
6. Frequency weighted r.m.s. acceleration (m/s squared
r.m.s.) corresponding to a low probability of
adverse comment
7. Vibration dose values (m/s 1.75) above which
various degrees of adverse comment may be expected
in residential buildings
8. Relationship between the curve number, the weighted
acceleration (m/s squared r.m.s.) and the peak
particle velocity (mm/s) for z-axis vibration
