RISVibration Serviceability Issues of Slender Footbridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Vibration Studies of a Cantilevered Structure Subjected to Human Activities Using a Remote Monitoring System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Long cantilevered balconies used as seating areas in auditoriums, theaters, churches, and stadiums are often susceptible to excessive vibrations because of crowd movements. Measurement and analysis of the responses of such ...
Vibration Serviceability of a Building Floor Structure. I: Dynamic Testing and Computer Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Buildings with large column-free floors or long-cantilevered structures can be susceptible to annoying vibrations due to everyday occupants’ activities such as walking. Computer modeling and analytical representation of ...
Vibrations due to Walking in a Long-Cantilevered Office Building Structure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Innovative architectural designs create new challenges for structural designers such as annoying vibrations because of the everyday occupant activities such as walking. The designer needs to predict the excitation levels ...
Vibration Serviceability of a Building Floor Structure. II: Vibration Evaluation and Assessment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: People are generally very sensitive to unexpected vibrations. Very small levels of building floor movements due to activities such as walking can become annoying to occupants. Accurate prediction, evaluation, and assessment ...
Development of Teaching Tool for Building Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper includes a review of past attempts to use models as a teaching tool. It also describes the development of the Building Systems Modeling, Assembly, Research, and Teaching Tool (BSMARTT) at the College of Architecture ...
Study of Verrazano-Narrows Bridge Movements during a New York City Marathon
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Series of measurements of the motion of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge during the November 7, 2004, New York City Marathon were made to evaluate the level of vibrations during the race. This paper presents details of the ...
Vibration Serviceability Evaluation of Office Building Floors Due to Human Movements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The tendency of architects and engineers to reduce construction costs by using high-strength, lightweight materials, and owners’ requirements for large open spaces, along with the new trend in the use of paperless or ...
Tuned Mass Dampers for Balcony Vibration Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Problems associated with floor vibrations caused by human movements are becoming more prevalent. In this paper tuned mass dampers are used to reduce the excessive vibrations of a long‐span balcony due to spectator‐induced ...
Tuned Mass Dampers to Control Floor Vibration from Humans
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The vibration of floor systems caused by human movements can be reduced using tuned mass dampers. The component mode synthesis (CMS) method is used to compute the response of the floor‐tuned mass damper system using only ...
