What Does HGVT Stand For?

HGVT stands for Horizontal Ground Vibration Test

HGVT, or Horizontal Ground Vibration Test, is a testing procedure used to assess the dynamic response of structures and materials to horizontal vibrations. This method simulates real-world conditions to evaluate the performance and integrity of civil engineering projects, including buildings, bridges, and infrastructure systems. By measuring the frequency and amplitude of vibrations, HGVT helps engineers identify potential vulnerabilities and optimize structural designs for improved safety and resilience.
