HUMAN RESPONSE TO FLOOR AND FOOT-BRIDGE VIBRATIONS
Date Thursday December 1 2011Time 130 PMLocation The Ohio State University
Robert Smith Seminar Room Physics Research Building 191 W Woodruff Ave Columbus OH 43210
Floor vibrations are probably the most criticalserviceability issue for steel framed buildingsTodayrsquos more efficient floor systems together withsparse office-fit out require designers to carefullyconsider vibration concerns due to all types ofhuman activity In particular office fit-out hasdramatically changed in the last decade resultingin many floor vibration problems because of thelack of mass and damping Rhythmic activities inoffice buildings such as aerobics in health clubshave also generated significant problems in theform of complaints from occupants elsewhere inthe buildings Equally important is the vibrationboth vertical and lateral of footbridges Recentlateral vibration problems with footbridges in theUnited Kingdom and New Zealand have caused
closure and required extensive retrofitting A gen-eral overview of human response to floor andfootbridge vibrations including recommended de-sign procedures will be presented Criteria in theAISCCISC Design Guide 11 Floor Vibrations dueto Human Activity and that from recently complet-ed research will be discussed
Lecturer Tom Murray isEmeritus Professor of Struc-tural Steel Design at VirginiaTec and the principal authorof the AISCCISC DesignGuide 11 ldquoFloor Vibrationsdue to Human Activityrdquo Hereceived his PhD in Engi-neering Mechanics from Uni-versity of Kansas in 1970has authored nearly 200 pa-
pers and made over 250 presentations to struc-tural engineering groups worldwide He hasreceived excellence in teaching awards from theUniversity of Oklahoma Virginia Tech and theCommonwealth of Virginia In 2002 he was elect-ed to the National Academy of Engineering and in2009 received the ASCE Ernest E HowardAward
