3.1. What is Event Monitoring?
Event monitoring measures both ground vibrations and air pressure. The monitor measures
transverse, vertical, and longitudinal ground vibrations. Transverse ground vibrations agitate
particles in a side to side motion. Vertical ground vibrations agitate particles in an up and down
motion. Longitudinal ground vibrations agitate particles in a forward and back motion progressing
outward from the event site. Events also affect air pressure by creating what is commonly referred
to as “air blast”. By measuring air pressures, we can determine the effect of air blast energy on
structures, measured on the Linear “L” scale, or as perceived by the human ear, measured on the
“A” Weight scale.
