This was a timely question since the 2018 MAAM Building Museum conference starts today in Philadelphia. At last years MAAM Building Museum Conference there was a session on vibrations. I am not sure if the session was recorded but you could contact the speakers about their experiences.  Last year's program description is below. Reach out if you have questions.

Good Vibrations: Planning
and Implementation of Vibration Control During Construction
and Renovation
Sunday, February 26, 2017

Vibration control methods have often been based on limited understanding and resources, sometimes resulting in over-conservatism, which increases construction costs, or under-conservatism, which risks damage to collections and to sensitive elements of museum structures. Attend this session to understand the nature and potential effects of construction vibrations. Panelists
will explain how to select vibration limits and construction speci cations that are sound and reasonable. Using examples of projects at The Art Institute of Chicago, The Saint Louis Art Museum, and several other institutions, panelists will outline the basics of a proven, scientific methodology to successfully carry out vibration control during a project at your museum.
