Abstract: Excessive floor vibration due to walking is an important serviceability condition to be considered in building design. This paper presents several case studies of problem floors. The case studies include complaints about ...

Abstract: This paper explores the current recommended measures for assessing vibration serviceability in building structures and the recommendations for relating these vibration measures to levels of perception and expected occupant ...

Abstract: Large floor vibration amplitudes can produce disruption and reduced efficiency in employees, and in more extreme cases can result in complete abandonment of a structure for its intended use. The implementation of active ...

Abstract: The research presented in this paper resolves several measurement issues pertaining to the experimental modal analysis of lightweight steel floor systems. This investigation represents a first step toward collecting more ...

Abstract: Lightweight floor systems are susceptible to excessive levels of vibration caused by occupant activities such as walking, dancing, and aerobics. Ongoing research utilizes active control to reduce vibration. Placement of ...
