Abstract: This is the first of two papers that present the results of a comprehensive and systematic study into the effects of false flooring on the vibration serviceability of long-span concrete floors. In this paper, advanced modal ...

Abstract: This is the second of two papers that present the results of a comprehensive and systematic study into the effects of false flooring on the vibration serviceability of long-span concrete floors. In this paper, controlled ...

Abstract: A novel mathematical modeling has been proposed to generate synthetic vertical force signal induced by a single person jumping. This model can replicate much of the temporal and spectral features of the real jumping loading ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of a combined experimental and analytical approach to investigate modal properties of a lively open-plan office floor. It is based on state-of-the-art finite-element (FE) modeling, FRF-based ...

Abstract: Nonstructural vertical partitions and cladding can have a significant effect on the vibration serviceability of floor systems. A typical modern office building, consisting of steel–concrete composite floor systems, was ...

Abstract: The behavior of humans jumping and bobbing on flexible structures has become a matter of some concern for both structural integrity and human tolerance. The issue is of great importance for a number of structure types ...
