Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth examination of floor performance criteria for structures, specifically within the realm of serviceability. The author delves into the historical development of these criteria, examining their evolution from simple live load deflection limitations to more sophisticated approaches that consider both static and dynamic factors, including human response to vibrations. The book highlights the need for improved floor performance criteria to address the increasing use of flexible construction materials and larger spans, which can result in perceptible floor vibrations that impact occupant comfort. The author proposes a new criterion that treats transient vibrations as a chain of damped discrete responses, establishing an equivalent static deflection limitation as a function of frequency. The author also explores future performance criteria, emphasizing the importance of considering human activity and occupant response as random variables. The book concludes by discussing a proposed ISO standard for vibration and shock limits for building occupants, which could serve as a basis for future performance criteria. Through its comprehensive analysis and forward-looking approach, this book provides valuable insights into the development and advancement of floor performance criteria, ensuring the serviceability and comfort of structures in the built environment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
