Generalisation of criteria for floor vibrations for industrial, office, residential and public buildings and gymnastic halls

Objective

General design criteria for floor vibration checks do currently not exist and the present recommendations are neither satisfactory nor applicable to the prediction of the vibration behaviour of floor. Therefore design criteria are needed in order to have general specification of vibration excitations. Currently the design criteria depend on the individual demands of the specifier (e.g. owner). Also simplified vibration checks for floors to ensure the specific criteria are fulfilled, are required. The preparation of the design recommendations should be performed by the following steps: the evaluation of all existing materials, performance of measurements, dynamic numerical simulations and preparation of simplified methods.
