Vibrations caused by some industrial sources (forges, presses etc.) are transmitted to the ground, generating different surface waves, with significant effects on building foundations, as well as some effects on buildings and their occupants. The structural dynamic response to this type of vibration also depends on the phenomenon of structure-soil interaction and the phenomenon of attenuation/amplification of vibrations. The principle of the applied method consists in determining the actual values of the characteristic parameters from the recorded vibrations in-situ /in building, in order to verify the fulfilment of the velocity criteria which are correlated with certain degrees of damage. In view of the means of controlling vibrations (at source, by transmission and in remote buildings) with physical or on human perception effects, the made assessments will determine whether the prevailing frequency produced by industrial equipment, within the monitored activities, is finds itself in the area of adjacent buildings' frequencies, with possible effects on the comfort of the inhabitants. The article aims to present comparatively the results obtained from the some instrumented sites.
