Title: EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON DAMPING EFFECT OF FLOOR STRUCTURE (PART2) : Vibration test of floor structures fitted with dynamic damper
Abstract: This paper discusses, on the basis of test results, the changes brought abourt dynamic characteristics of floor structure and human sensitivity to vibration by differences in the damping performance of floor structure. For the study, the vibration tests of the floor structures fitted with dynamic damper were perfomed. The above tests led to the following conclusions : 1. The dynamic damper is worth noting as an effective vibration control device for floor structures with large span. 2. Vibration level [JIS C 1510] is a useful guidance for evaluating human sensitivity to floor vibration.
