Pulsation and vibration tests were carried out to assess the damage caused by automobileinduced vibrations on the colored clay statues in the Sacred Lady Hall in Shanxi province.Pulsation tests were used to obtain the fundamental frequency of vibration period,the damping ratio and the transfer function of the colored statues;single and multi automobile induced vibration tests were used to calculate the displacement of the statues under varying traffic volume.Based on the condition of the statues and their maximal displacement angles,preliminary rating scales and regulations of instant vibrations effect on the colored clay statues in the Sacred Lady Hall is proposed.Based on theory of fatigue damage and vibration test results,criteria for vealuation of effects of constant vibration on the colored clay statues are also proposed.Based on current state of damage to the statues and their maximal displacement angle under vibration,a minimum safe distance from the road is suggested.In addition,the road conditions around the Sacred Lady Hall have been surveyed.
