Design Considerations: Comfort and Performance Floor System Vibration: • Studies have shown that excessive floor system vibration makes occupants uncomfortable and may even cause them to fear system failure. • It is also known that auditory effects (rattling china closets, etc.) heighten human discomfort with vibration. • Vibration is not necessarily related to the structural integrity of a floor system and extra design measures may be required in anticipation of satisfying end users.
Design Considerations: Comfort and Performance Floor System Vibration: • It should be recognized that floor system vibration is a performance concern, not a safety issue. • U.S. building codes do not specify vibration performance requirements for floor systems. • It should also be recognized that vibration is not simply a side effect of deflection.
