Vibration Performance of Composite Floors Using Slim Floor Beams
Publication: Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete VII
Abstract
Deltabeam is a hollow slim floor beam made from welded steel plates with regular web penetrations. Due to the long spanning capabilities of this product, the Deltabeam technology has recently been used in a prestigious shopping centre in the UK. As the floor would be subject to continuous walking activities the main contractor, Bovis Lend Lease, was concerned with occupant-induced vibrations. This paper presents the results from vibration tests conducted by the University of Sheffield, which can be compared directly with the requirements given in ISO 10137. Through extending the scope of the test results by numerical modelling and applying the design rules given in SCI P354, a methodology has been developed to estimate the vibration performance for this floor type and is presented.
