Timber floor vibrations have long been a significant challenge in design and research,
growing in importance with advancements in engineered wood products and the increasing …

Due to the lightweight nature of timber, vibration serviceability is a crucial issue in the design
of timber floors. The purpose of this study is to investigate how beam–panel connections …

Long-span timber floors are susceptible to annoying floor vibrations caused by human
activities, which, in many cases, govern the timber floor design. Consequently, a reliable …

Mass timber panel–concrete composite (MTPCC) floors combine timber and concrete
through high-performance connections to create an efficient floor system with high stiffness …

Designing a lightweight floor to prevent annoying vibrations induced by human activities is
still a challenge because numerous factors need to be considered. In consequence, there is …

Key point to development of environmentally friendly timber structures, appropriate to urban
ways of living, is the development of high-rise timber buildings. Comfort properties are …

The dynamic response of structural timber flooring systems can cause vibrational
serviceability problems in terms of discomfort experienced by the occupants. A unified …

Floor vibration serviceability problems can exist for floors constructed from low mass-to-
stiffness engineered-wood products. This paper addresses responses of beam-and-deck …

Serviceability requirements are considered in any building design to maintain the occupants'
comfort and protection for nonstructural elements. Specifically, floor system deflection and …
