The new edition of "Guidelines for the evaluation of habitability to building vibration" in AIJ was published in 2004. It is recommended that the habitability to traffice vibrations uses the peak value of floor vibration acceleration in each 1/3-octave band. In order to utilize the new guideline effectively, it is necessary to accumulate measurements in the 1/3-octave band values. WG on Measurement Technique of Environmental Vibration in AIJ and GOTO Laboratory of Hosei University jointly implemented an experimental measurement of house vibration induced-by running train. This paper considers variable factors affecting measurements in the 1/3-octave band values for the house vibration and refers to usage notes for applying the guidelines.
