This book outlines an extensive and elaborated experimental work to attain the objectives set in the thesis. The material properties of concrete, profiled steel (PSF) and vibration damping compound (VDC) are investigated in the laboratory to carry out the theoretical calculation of this study. For the prediction of time-dependent deflections of floors, compressed test of concrete were conducted in the laboratory. The experimental work is divided into two groups. In the first group, the dynamic performance (acceleration, force, and damping) of floors are investigated. The second group of...

The generation of the impact sound by the act of the human walk involves two factors, the character of the footfall and the shape of the induced floor vibration. High levels of vibrations can occur in floor systems due to excitation from human activities such as walking and aerobics. In building floors, excessive vibrations are generally not a safety concern for building floor system but a cause of annoyance and discomfort. The footfall noise is created by the impact excitation where the character of the footfall depends on the foot-ware: the heels and the frequencies of the footfall. The...
