Design Guide 11: Vibrations of Steel-Framed Structural Systems Due to Human Activity (Second Ed.)

This second edition of Design Guide 11 expands and updates the original version with new material based on the large volume of literature that has been published on the response of steel framed structural systems including floors, monumental stairs, and balconies due to human activity since the original guide was published. Human tolerance and sensitive equipment tolerance limits have been modified, updated methods to evaluate high-frequency systems have been proposed, and the use of the finite element method to analyze structural systems supporting human activity has been refined. Simplified methods to evaluate problem floors have also been proposed.
