how to control the vibration in the building? what the law used? please help me...

vibration comes from loose parts..........so make every thing tight............ add screws, give reinforcements, Seal the gaps with wax putty, ..........this is how it is done.......... no need to go behind laws...

all solids are somewhat elastic. including buildings. This means that they have a natural frequency at which they "like" to vibrate. If they are driven to vibrate at other frequencies, it is found that there are certain frequencies at which the amplitude of the vibration increases (theoretically without limit, but practically to a very high value). These frequencies are called resonance frequencies In principle infinitely many exist for a complex structure. To eliminate these resonances, engineers design structures which damp them out - a very complex engineering problem which can involve springs, masses of water, etc. Many newer skyscrapers include these structures. Thew basics of the explanation of this phenomenon can be watched in this MIT lecture: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-03-physics-iii-vibrations-and-waves-fall-2004/video-lectures/lecture-3/

to control the vibrations at my house; we just use the law of "quit jumping on the beds"!
