Was curious if anyone has ever looked into vibrations for metal deck on steel wide flange framing with no concrete topping. Looking at DG11, I understand that their fundamental assumptions are made based on a concrete on metal deck floor system on steel beams or joists. Similarly I understand that it would be best practice to go with concrete on metal deck on top of steel beams. That said, I am just curious if there is a way to evaluate vibration criteria(regardless of it's a good idea or not) for a system lacking the concrete topping and if anyone has looked into it before.
