There is no building work going on around me. However, they finished building an even higher block right next door about six months ago. We didn't experience any rocking while it was being built and have only started feeling it a few months after they finished. I have wondered if they did something to the foundations during construction.
Depends of what rocks the ground is made of, and if there was cavities filled with water that is pumped out increasingly quick, weakening the soil. The added constructions weighting in, makes the area less stable, as in Jakarta.
But i don't know how stable and rocksolid is the ground in PP. I know PP sucks more and more water, and that construction's quality is variable from a building to another...

The capital is built on an alluvial plain, the bedrock is very deep down from 9 to 76 meters in Phnom Penh. A friend who worked on Vattanac Tower said it was 30 Meters deep there.

Probably resonance from the rebar and concrete superstructure

In my town, some streets have so little solid fill that when an 18 wheel truck passes by it feels rather like I'd imagine an earth tremor to be like, and the houses either side literally shake for 30 seconds

So :
- earthquakes : no
- ground : solid
- rebar resonance : maybe (is it affecting the solidity after a while ?)
- construction's weakness sign : maybe

Any miss ?

I'm not sure how you arrived at that conclusion.

This is how wobbly it is these days in my place. If you watch the monitor, you'll see it shaking about. I've been in this particular apartment in BKK3 for about 5 years, first time I've noticed it, but it fits in sync with the construction pretty much, unless it's my elderly landlord slamming his equally as elderly wife?

ground : solid

well lubricated sodden swamp jelly pal.
9-76 meters to bedrock as Bingham observes earlier in the thread.

Does the shaking stop when the music stops through?

Ah, i understood PP sitting on 9 to 76 meters of bedrock, my bad.
So 9 to 76 meters of swamp before hitting bedrock, correct ?
That would mean a moderate earthquake could shake it well, and that anything else is virtually possible, basically....
Wouldn't feel too safe in it. Too many various reasons, but first sign, i'd move.

They build shit here out of shit without inspections.
Do you not see all the building collapses in the news?
