Abstract:

Timber floor are by far the most common structural systems used in woodframed residential buildings, and are the only systems with which human occupants are in constant physical contact. In dwellings, the vibration due to walking often brings occupant discomfort. The paper reviews the evolution of design method for floor vibration serviceability and points out the future development on the floor vibration studies, which will be helpful to develop the Chinese design method for floor vibration serviceability.

Key words: wood frame floor, vibration, design method
