03.13.2014 | Floor Vibrations: Technical Background and AISC Design Guide 11, Part 1

Floor vibration due to human activity is a critical design consideration for steel framed floor systems, and the primary guidance is found in the AISC Design Guide 11 (DG11) Floor Vibrations Due to Human Activity. Part 1 covers dynamic loads due to human activities, natural vibration modes, resonant response prediction, tolerance limits, and explains the DG11 Chapter 4 evaluation method.
