AD.2005.2.1 Floor Vibration Analysis
Purpose The adequacy of a floor system from the standpoint of its vibration serviceability due to human activity, specifically walking excitation, can now be assessed using STAAD.Pro. The procedures of Chapters 3 and 4 of the AISC Steel Design Guide Series No. 11 - Floor Vibrations due to Human Activity - have been implemented. Description To utilize this feature, the floor system must be defined as a composite deck. The composite deck modeling feature of the program was introduced in the second edition of STAAD.Pro 2004, and is explained in the Software Release report for that edition. An example of its application is discussed later in this section. The vibration calculation is done for a. beam or the joist mode b. girder mode The two modes are then combined to obtain the system frequency and other results of the combined mode using the Dunkerley relationship described in chapter 3 of the AISC Design Guide. Results for the 2 basic modes and the combined mode are provided in a tabular form. The output for the combined mode consists of a. the peak acceleration for walking excitation b. allowable acceleration (known in the code as the acceleration limit) The design criterion as stated in the code in the third paragraph in Chapter 4 is that a floor system is satisfactory if the peak acceleration does not exceed the acceleration limit. Theoretical Basis The fundamental natural frequency of the joist mode and the girder mode can be determined from equation 3.3 on page 11 of the design guide: f j / g = 0.18 ( g / delta ) ------ ( 1 )
f j / g = fundamental natural frequency of the joist or the girder mode. g= acceleration due to gravity delta = midspan deflection of the member due to the weight supported.
For the combined mode, the fundamental natural frequency can be determined from equation 3.4 on page 11 of the design guide: f n = 0.18 { g / (delta j + delta g ) } ----- ( 2 )

f n = fundamental natural frequency for the combined mode g = acceleration due to gravity delta j = joist deflection due to the weight supported delta g = girder deflection due to the weight
supported.
delta g and delta j are the local deflection of the joist and the girder determined from a secondary operation after the analysis. The stiffness analysis will yield the global deflection values for the girder beams. A line joining the start and the end nodes of the girder beam in its deflected position is created as a base line. Relative to this base line, the deflection values are zero for the start and end nodes. The local deflection values of the intermediate points of the girder beam are evaluated from the global deflection values relative to this base line. It is this local deflection that is used in calculating the fundamental natural frequency as shown in the earlier equations. Further, the local deflection is also used in calculating the equivalent uniform loading on the joist and the girder, w j and w g , as shown in the equation on page 21 of the AISC Design Guide: wj/g= 384 E s I j / g delta j / g ---------------------5 L j / g4 --------- ( 3 )
I j / g = moment of inertia of the effective joist or girder section. L j / g = joist or girder span Es = modulus of elasticity of steel.
In addition to the terms f j , delta j , w j shown above , the following additional terms - D s , D j , B j and W j - which are explained below, are also reported for the joist mode. D s is the transformed slab moment of inertia per unit width and is determined from the equation at the bottom right corner of page 17 of the AISC Design Guide: de 3 D s = -------------12n where d e = effective depth of the concrete slab, usually taken as the depth of the concrete above the form deck plus one-half the depth of the form deck. N = dynamic modular ratio = E s / 1.35 E c Ec = modulus of elasticity of concrete D j is the joist or the or beam transformed moment of inertia per unit width, and is determined from the equation shown at the top left of page 18 of the AISC Design Guide: Ij D j = -------------S S = joist or beam spacing. B j is the effective width for the beam or joist panel mode and is determined from equation 4.3a

on page 17 of the AISC Design Guide: B j = C j (D s / D j ) L j <= 2 / 3 x floor width C j = 1.0 for interior panels = 2.0 for edge panels W j is the weight of the beam panel and is calculated from equation 4.2 on page 17 of the AISC Design Guide and page 21 left side: W j = w j B j L j ( x 1.5 if continuous ) For the girder mode, the terms reported include f g , delta g , w g which were explained earlier, and, D g , B g and W g which are described below. D g is the girder transformed moment of inertia per unit width described on page 18 of the AISC Design Guide: Dg = = I g / L j for all but edge girders I g / 2L j for edge girders.
B g is the effective width for the girder panel mode and is determined by equation 4.3b on page 18: For the interior panel- B g = C g (D g / D j ) L g <= 2 / 3 x floor width For edge panel, B g = 2 / 3 L j C g is defined on page 18 as: C g = 1.6 for girders supporting joists connected to girder flange (e.g., joist seats ) = 1.8 for girders supporting beams connected to the girder web. W g is the weight of the girder panel and is calculated by equation 4.2 on page 17 and described on page 21: W g = w g B g L g ( x 1.5 if continuous ) For the combined mode of vibration the parameters reported are f n , W , beta , Peak Acceleration and Acceleration Limit. f n is calculated from equation 2 shown above . W is the equivalent panel weight in the combined mode and is calculated from the equation shown on page 21 of the AISC Design Guide: delta j delta g W = ------------------- W j + --------------------- W g delta j + delta g delta j + delta g Beta is the value of the damping ratio as per Table 4.1 on page 18 of AISC Design Guide.

The peak acceleration due to walking excitation is then determined from the equation 4.1 on page 17 and on page 21 of the AISC Design Guide: ap ----------g P 0 exp ( - 0.35 F n ) = ---------------------------beta x W
a p = peak acceleration value due to walking excitation P 0 = a constant force representing excitation and is determined as per Table 4.1 of the Design Guide. f n = fundamental natural frequency in combined mode. The acceleration limit is determined from Table 4.1 on page 18 of the Design Guide. Tutorial problem A composite deck is system composed of a concrete slab lying over a steel deck with or without ribs. The steel deck in turn is supported by steel beams or joists and they span the distance between girders and are supported by those girders. The slab may or may not be connected to the joists by shear studs. To model this system in STAAD, one has to go to Geometry > Composite Deck from the left side of the screen as shown in the next figure:

A box titled Composite Deck opens up on the right side of the screen as shown in the next figure.
Figure 71 When you click on the Create New Deck tab, you will see the mouse cursor change to look like an icon of a colored composite deck. To define the periphery of the composite deck, click the corner nodes in clockwise or counter-clockwise sequence using this mouse cursor. The last click must be on the starting node to close the periphery. In the figure shown, the sequence used is A-B-C-D-A.
Figure 72 Immediately upon closing the periphery, a box titled New Composite Deck will appear as shown in the next figure. Specify any name with which to identify the deck, and click on OK.
