Vibration Characteristics of Modern Composite Floor Systems
In 1989, the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) produced a design guide that presents simplified rules for designers to calculate the serviceability response of composite floors from occupant-induced vibrations. However, advancements in composite construction have led to much longer, slender floors than was originally considered in the development of this design guide. Furthermore, due to the fact that much more stringent requirements are now demanded in specialist applications (e.g., hospital operating theatres, etc.), design's for composite floor systems are now becoming limited by vibration serviceability criteria. Over the last 6-years the SCI have been undertaking in situ vibration tests on a wider range of floor systems and types than was considered in the calibration of the original SCI design guide. This paper presents the results from these tests and compares the measurements with the SCI publication and AISC/CISC design guidance. Following this review, a simplified design method for estimating the response of composite floors is proposed, and is compared with test results.
