Concrete Floor Vibration

It is generally perceived that vibration is not an issue for reinforced concrete floor systems.

However there can be situations where the effects of vibration are one of the main design issues that need to be addressed. The construction of lighter and longer floor structures in recent years has resulted in an increasing incidence of floor vibration. Vibration isolation buildings are unavoidably near busy streets trains and subways even though they contain space that must be vibration free an. We have limited this bulletin to the following areas of vibration sound and impact isolation.

To stop concrete floor vibration durall concrete floor coatings offers the epoxy quartz filler that levels the rut between slabs thus eliminating the vibration wear structural damage that would otherwise be caused by moving equipment. Floor vibrations are generally caused by dynamic loads applied either directly to the floor by people or machinery or indirectly by moving floor supports after transmission through the building structure or through the ground. For buildings where users or equipment are sensitive to movements tight vibration criteria are appropriate. Because of the inherent mass and stiffness of such systems this perception is generally true.
