Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of vibration that occurs in many industrial buildings. It covers the complete procedure of handling such tasks. Two buildings in a “Lubelski Wegiel S.A.” coal mine were examined in 2003 – 2005. Some years after building vibration of floors appeared (Figs 2-3). It was caused probably by modification in the building structures or improper maintenance of machines. Measurements and numerical simulations (Figs 4-5 and Tab. 1) showed that resonance appeared. It was stated that main elements of the structure were not in danger and vibration concern the floors only. Necessary modifications of the structures were designed (Figs 6-7). Testing measurements after bringing them into effect were conducted (Figs 8-11).
