A new method for evaluation and assessment of floor vibration: abstract
conference paper
To achieve flexibility concerning space-arrangements and kind of occupancy multi-storey buildings require large span floor structures with a minimum of internal columns and walls. Modern materials and ways of construction are becoming more and more suitable to fulfill these requirements. It is common for slender floor structures that their design is usually not only controlled by the ultimate limit states but by serviceability criteria as deflections and vibrations. The paper provides a procedure for the determination and assessment of floor responses to walking of pedestrians that leads to easy to use design charts. © 2010 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
