We were instructed to design the floor to meet the Class A criteria for sensitive equipment in AISC DG11. This limits the vibrational velocity to 2000 uin/sec.
I did find a new guide developed by Arup that was published in England in January 2007, " A design Guide for footfall Induced Vibration...
I have a project with one way wide module concrete joists that is going to be used for a laboratory and it has strict vibration criteria. The only design guides that I can find for vibration are for steel. Does anyone have a method for determining the vibration of a concrete floor system?
