- (a)
- Vibration transmission ratio of lateral-river vibration is significantly larger than those of longitude-river vibration and vertical vibration. The transmission ratio between adjacent units of lateral-river vibration is about 15–25%, while those of longitude-river vibration and vertical vibration are about 10–15%.
- (b)
- Low frequency tail fluctuation and the rotation of hydraulic generator are the main vibration sources of powerhouse structural vibration. Vibration transmission ratios of the vibration caused by the two sources are basically equal.
