Solutions for Vibration Issues -- Evaluation and Retrofits [N28]

Building occupants occasionally report annoying floor vibration due to human activity. Similarly, human-induced vibration levels occasionally exceed the tolerance limit of sensitive equipment that will be on the floor. In such cases, a retrofit solution is necessary. The dynamic properties and vibration levels of the problem area should preferably be measured using dynamic testing techniques. These values serve as the starting point for a retrofit solution design, which usually involves a combination of finite element analysis and AISC Design Guide 11 calculations. This process is illustrated using several case studies.
