In this study, on-site testing was carried out to investigate the vibration performance of a cold-formed thin-walled steel floor system. Ambient vibration, walking excitation (single and double persons), and impulsive excitation (heel-drop and jumping) were considered to capture the primary vibration parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes) and vertical acceleration response. Meanwhile, to discuss the influence of cement fiberboard on structural vibration, the primary vibration parameters were compared between the systems with and without the installation of cement fiberboard. Based on the experimental analysis, the cold-formed thin-walled steel floor possesses high frequency (> 10 Hz) and damping (> 2%); the installed cement fiberboard mainly increases the mass of floor system without effectively increasing the floor stiffness and may reduce the effects of primary vibration parameters on acceleration response; and the human-structure interaction should be considered when analyzing the vibration serviceability. The comparison of the experimental results with those in the AISC Design Guide indicates that the cold-formed thin-walled steel floor exhibits acceptable vibration serviceability. A crest factor 𝛽_rp (ratio of peak to root-mean-square accelerations) is proposed to determine the root-mean-square acceleration for convenience.

In this study, on-site testing was carried out to investigate the vibration serviceability of a composite steel-bar truss slab with steel girder system. Impulse excitations (heel-drop and jumping) and steady-state motion (walking and running) were performed to capture the primary vibration parameters (natural frequency and damping ratio) and distribution of peak acceleration. The composite floor possesses low frequency (<8.3Hz) and damping ratio (<2.47%). Based on experimental, theoretical, and numerical analyses on fundamental natural frequency, the boundary condition of SCSS (i.e., three edges simply supported and one edge clamped) is deemed more comparable substitutive for the investigated composite floor. Walking and running excitations by one person (single excitation) were considered to evaluate the vibration serviceability of the composite floor. The measured acceleration results show a satisfactory vibration perceptibility. For design convenience and safety, a crest factor β_rp describing the ratio of peak acceleration to root-mean-square acceleration induced from the walking and running excitations is proposed. The comparisons of the modal parameters determined by walking and running tests reveal the interaction effect between the human excitation and the composite floor.

Flat plate slab systems are more economical rather than reinforced concrete frame systems because flat plate slab system reduces story height. Furthermore flat plate systems are more popularly needed in construction practice due to flexibility of plan. Korean Concrete Provisions 2003 provide the minimum thickness of the slab that satisfies serviceability requirement to the static displacement. However, floor thickness in residence buildings may not satisfy the floor vibration criteria although the thickness satisfies the serviceability requirements in current design provisions. This study estimates the dynamic properties of floor vibration for existing flat plate slabs, and proposes the slab thickness satisfying the floor vibration criteria. The dynamic response analysis using finite element method and reliability analysis are carried out for this Purpose.

In this study, on-site testing was carried out to investigate the vibration performance of a composite steel-bar truss slab with steel girder system. Ambient vibration was performed to capture the primary vibration parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes). The composite floor possesses low frequency (< 10 Hz) and damping (< 2%). Based on experimental, theoretical, and numerical analyses on natural frequencies and mode shapes, the boundary condition of SCSC (i.e., two opposite edges simply-supported and the other two edges clamped) is deemed more reasonable for the composite floor. Walking excitations by one person (single excitation), two persons (dual excitation), and three persons (triple excitation) were considered to evaluate the vibration serviceability of the composite floor. The measured acceleration results show a satisfactory vibration perceptibility. For design convenience and safety, a crest factor ${\beta}_{rp}$ describing the ratio of peak acceleration to root-mean-square acceleration induced from the walking excitations is proposed. The comparisons of the modal parameters determined by ambient vibration and walking tests reveal the interaction effect between the human excitation and the composite floor.

Slim floor construction is becoming used throughout many countries. It combines the advantages of flat slab construction with significant inherent resistance to fire. The slim floor system with web openings leads to the reduction of its self-weight. Although the system has enough strength and stiffness, it is necessary to evaluate and improve the effects of dynamic vibration to be able to annoy the residents. Thus, this study evaluates the serviceability of vibration effects based on the dynamic test of five slim composite beams. Based on the experimental results, the initial stiffness and natural frequency of all specimens exhibit the similar trend regardless of the opening and the shape of cross section. The decrease in natural frequency is deeply related to the reduction in the stiffness of specimens and thus, it can be concluded that the damage of slim composite floor can be detected by the measurement of natural frequency instead of the load-carrying capacity and the stiffness.

장경간화되고 경량화된 데크 바닥판 구조물은 부재가 유연하기 때문에 거주자의 움직임에 의하여 진동이 크게 발생할 수 있으며, 이러한 바닥판 진동은 건축물의 안전성뿐만 아니라 건축물의 사용성에도 많은 영향을 끼치므로 건축물의 품질 평가기준으로 사용되고 있다. 데크 바닥판 구조물의 올바른 사용성 평가를 위해서는 정확한 진동해석과 응답평가가 수반되어야한다. 본 논문에서는 데크 바닥판 구조물의 직교이방성을 고려한 여러 가지 모형화 방법을 적용하여 진동해석을 수행하였으며 모형화 방법에 따른 진동응답을 비교 분석하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 데크 골 방향 강성에 대한 등가두께 모형화방법은 간단한 방법으로 데크 바닥판 구조물의 직교이방성을 간단한 방법으로 고려할 수 있으며, 정확한 진동응답을 얻을 수 있으므로 실무에서 실용적으로 활용할 수 있다.

The floor thickness in residential buildings may not satisfy the floor vibration criteria even though the thickness is determined by the serviceability requirements in current design provisons. Thus it is necessary to develop the procedure to determine slab thickness that satisfies the floor vibration criteria. In this study provide the methods to determine the slab thickness that satisfies the vertical floor vibration criteria for several sizes of flat plate floor system. Randomness inherent in young modulus of concrete and heel drop intensity was accounted. For this purpose Monte Carlo simulation procedure was adopted.

Recently, the floor thickness in residence may not be satisfied with the floor vibration criteria although the thickness is evaluated by the serviceability requirements in current design provisions. Thus it is necessary to develop the procedure to determine slab thickness satisfied with the floor vibration criteria. In this study, We proposed the methods to determine the slab thickness satisfied with the vertical floor vibration criteria for several concrete compressive strength of flat plate floor systems. For this purpose Monte Carlo simulation procedure was adopted and both randomness inherent in young modulus of concrete and heel drop intensity were accounted.
