Vibrations induced by multiple consecutive human footfalls on high stiffness long-span timber floor were measured and examine several performance values, the relationship between the measurements and human sensory evaluation. An experimental floor was built, on which the sensory tests were performed. It was revealed that walking vibrations induced by relatively high rather a consecutive long vibration at the natural frequency than stack of footfalls of each step.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
