This book was released on 1991 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupants in residential houses are occasionally disturbed by the vibrations in wooden floors resulting from human activities. The recently revised allowable joist spans in the National Building Code of Canada incorporate empirical allowance for vibrational serviceability and are expected to reduce the number of unsatisfactory wooden floors. Further reduction can be achieved by adopting construction details which minimize vibration levels in addition to using appropriate spans. This project was undertaken to investigate how changes in certain construction details can affect vibrational performance of wooden floors. Vibratiion tests were carried out on full size wooden floors in the laboratory. These tests were designed to identify the characteristics which influence human sensitivity to floor vibrations. For each floor size a reference floor constructed by normal practices was tested....

This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers research in the floor vibration field and development a composite concrete floor to reduce vibrations in concrete constructions. Whether a floor is developed as "less vibrated" or "highly vibrated" by the occupants is an interaction of (a) the dynamic properties of the floor and of (b) human vibration perception. This book also concerns floor vibrations, describes the nature of floor vibrations and provides options for avoiding it through design, or in the case of existing buildings, reducing or eliminating it through alterations. In this book describes an investigation into the effects of raised access floors and future works of this area on the vibration serviceability of concrete floors. The development of a new composite concrete floor and modal testing facility based on electrodynamics shaker excitation, which was capable of producing high quality estimates of the modal properties of full-scale floor structures. This was subsequently utilized to determine the modal properties of two full-scale floor structures, first concrete floor with profiles steel sheet (PSS) and secondly concrete floor with PSS and vibration damping compound (VDC).The vibration damping co

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book concerns floor vibration, describes the nature of floor vibration and provides options for avoiding it through design, or in the case of existing buildings, reducing or eliminating it through alterations. Excessive floor vibration has become a great problem as new rhythmic activities, such as aerobics, generators, air conditioners and long-span floor structures have become more common. The current push towards stronger concrete materials and the use of prestressing results in increasing fineness and dynamism of long-span concrete floors in buildings. Although concrete floors have a good vibration serviceability track record, this trend may lead to an increasing number of floors fails from vibration serviceability. There is a current trend towards even more slender concrete floor structures, which results in more frequent problems with their vibration serviceability. Predictive methods for vibration serviceability must consider not only the structures themselves, but also the non-structural elements which are attached to them, as these may have a significant effect on the dynamic characteristics of the floor structural system.

Book excerpt: Maintaining the outstanding features and practical approach that led the bestselling first edition to become a standard textbook in engineering classrooms worldwide, Clarence de Silva's Vibration: Fundamentals and Practice, Second Edition remains a solid instructional tool for modeling, analyzing, simulating, measuring, monitoring, testing, controlling, and designing for vibration in engineering systems. It condenses the author's distinguished and extensive experience into an easy-to-use, highly practical text that prepares students for real problems in a variety of engineering fields. What's New in the Second Edition? A new chapter on human response to vibration, with practical considerations Expanded and updated material on vibration monitoring and diagnosis Enhanced section on vibration control, updated with the latest techniques and methodologies New worked examples and end-of-chapter problems. Incorporates software tools, including LabVIEWTM, SIMULINK®, MATLAB®, the LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolbox, and the MATLAB Control Systems Toolbox Enhanced worked examples and new solutions using MATLAB and SIMULINK The new chapter on human response to vibration examines representation of vibration detection and perception by humans as well as specifications and regulatory guidelines for human vibration environments. Remaining an indispensable text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, Vibration: Fundamentals and Practice, Second Edition builds a unique and in-depth understanding of vibration on a sound framework of practical tools and applications.
Download or read book Timber Engineering written by Sven Thelandersson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-03-14 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timber construction is one of the most prevalent methods of constructing buildings in North America and an increasingly significant method of construction in Europe and the rest of the world. Timber Engineering deals not only with the structural aspects of timber construction, structural components, joints and systems based on solid timber and engineered wood products, but also material behaviour and properties on a wood element level. Produced by internationally renowned experts in the field, this book represents the state of the art in research on the understanding of the material behaviour of solid wood and engineered wood products. There is no comparable compendium currently available on the topic - the subjects represented include the most recent phenomena of timber engineering and the newest development of practice-related research. Grouped into three different sections, 'Basic properties of wood-based structural elements', 'Design aspects on timber structures' and 'Joints and structural assemblies', this book focuses on key issues in the understanding of: timber as a modern engineered construction material with controlled and documented properties the background for design of structural systems based on timber and engineered wood products the background for structural design of joints in structural timber systems Furthermore, this invaluable book contains advanced teaching material for all technical schools and universities involved in timber engineering. It also provides an essential resource for timber engineering students and researchers, as well as practicing structural and civil engineers.
