This contribution summarizes main information about technical seismicity generated by geotechnical works. These works can induce strong ground vibrations that produce negative disturbing of people and cause damage of sensitive instrumentation and structures in the vicinity of a working place. Seismological measurements are usually recommended to define the effect of this vibration. Three typical examples are presented in this paper: blasting operation, vibratory sheet pile driving, and the vibration generated by heavy trucks. Individual wave patterns have specific shapes that are briefly mentioned.
