Аnnotation: The proposed article touches upon a number of issues related to the impact of fluctuations of natural or man-made origin on soil massifs and geological processes. The impact of seismic waves on the ground mass is determined by both direct mechanical action and absorption and dispersion of seis-mic energy, which in turn is caused by the phenomena of transformation of elastic energy into thermal, electrical and chemical energy. The design and construction of modern structures requires consideration of the possible negative effects of vibration loads. The purpose of this article is to draw the attention of prospectors, designers and those who operate structures to the need to study the influence of man–made vibrations from various sources.
