Objective
The use of modern high strength steels allows the design of more slender and light weight structures. However with increasing slenderness sensitivity of structures to vibrations rises. An ECSC research project concerning floor vibrations and a RFCS project concerning vibrations of footbridges were carried out to study how to deal with vibration level in light weight structures.
The project proposed here aims at the promotion of the combined knowledge gained in the two projects specified above that provide already drafts of guidelines. The promotion covers the preparation of a guideline for vibration design with worked examples, concise background information, preparation of presentations and performance of seminars.
