A FUNDAMENTAL STUDY OF PERFORMANCE VALUES IN HIGH STIFFNESS FLOORS<br>A method to evaluate the habitability of walking-induced vibration on long-span timber floors Part 2

Abstract

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.
