| Abstract | Vibration measurements have been correlated on five long- span floors in a two-storey shopping centre. The floors are used primarily as walking areas and have been considered satisfactory with respect to floor vibrations. Three of the floors are steel beam composite concrete deck construction, and two are precast, prestressed, concrete beam construction. Dynamic characteristics of the floors as determined by the heel impact test were compared with quiet occupancy criteria. Results suggest that quiet occupancy criteria can be increased by at least a factor of three for walking areas in shopping centres. Calculations of fundamental frequency and initial peak acceleration from heel impact for the five floors are also presented and the results compared with measured values. |
