    Introduction of Floor Vibration For Steel Structures: Background

    Uploaded by

    Jitendra
    This document discusses floor vibration in steel structures. It provides background on the historical consideration of floor vibration in design. Floor vibration is caused by dynamic loads like dancing, walking, and jumping. The factors that influence dynamic amplification include damping, natural frequency, and loading frequency. Design criteria specify acceptable peak floor accelerations for different uses like offices, gyms, and malls. The document outlines methods to calculate the natural frequency of floor systems and evaluate floors against acceleration limits.

    Background
     The first criteria in designing floor for service ability starts nearly 180
    years ago. Tredgold (1828) wrote that girders over long spans
    should be made “deep” to avoid the inconvenience of not being able
    to move on the floor without shaking everything in the room.
     Traditionally, soldiers "break step" when marching across bridges to
    avoid large, potentially dangerous, resonant vibration.
     The example of the millennium bridge.
     A traditional stiffness criterion limits floor deflection due to live load
    = span/360. This limitation has limited success in controlling floor
    vibration.
     Resonance has been ignored in the design of floors and footbridges
    until recently.
     Dynamic amplification.
     Rhythmic activities, such as aerobics and high-impact dancing, can cause serious
    floor vibration problems due to resonance.
    Types of Dynamic Loading

     (a) Harmonic
    load (Machine)
     (b) Periodic
    load (Dancing)
     (c) Transient
    load (Walking)
     (d) Impulsive
    load (Jumping)

    Dynamic Resonance

    Factors affecting
    the dynamic
    amplification:
    damping, ω and
    ωn
    Peak Acceleration for Human
    Comfort for Vibrations
    Acceptance criteria for peak
    floor acceleration with
    frequency ranges from 4 Hz to
    8 Hz.
     Office (0.005 g).
     Gym (0.05 g) ~ 10 times office
    acceptance.
     Shopping mall (0.015 g) ~ 3
    times office acceptance.
    Acceptance criteria for peak
    floor acceleration increases
    outside the
    frequency range from 4 Hz to
    8 Hz.
