AD 256: Design Considerations for the Vibration of Floors – Part 3

AD 254 Design Considerations for the Vibration of Floors – Part 2 gave a general over-view on the prediction of the acceleration and fundamental frequency of floors. This Advisory Desk article presents some design guidance, which is based on the results of a three-year study conducted by the SCI. The design recommendations presented here offer some enhancements over the existing guidance in SCI publication SCI 076 entitled Design Guide on the Vibration of Floors*.
