Increased usage of lighter types of construction in floors in recent years for economy purposes has resulted in occasional floors with insufficient stiffness to prevent noticeable vibration induced by human impact. This problem has not been limited to any particular type of construction or construction material.The Steel Joist Institute, in an attempt to develop basic knowledge and acquire test data in this floor vibration field, initiated and sponsored a research program at The University of Kansas. The program was started in 1958 and has developed into several successive projects. Six reports to the Steel Joist Institute have resulted from this research. This is a final report summarizing all of the previous work.
