I'm just analyzing a composite floor for vibration using the AISC Design Guide 11, and I'm not sure how to approach it. This particular floor section is cantilevered in two directions. By this I mean there is no column support in the corner, the two girders just cantilever out and meet. The design guide specifies a method for dealing with cantilevers, can this be altered to address this scenario? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, but you're going to have to take Eq. 4.1 apart and adjust the effective mass and R factor, then put it back together. It is currently specialized for regular rectangular floor bays.
