Abstract
Steel-deck composite floor systems are a popular choice in high-rise buildings as they are economical and easy to construct. These composite floor systems use high strength materials to achieve longer spans, but are slender and vulnerable to vibration under human induced loads. These floors are normally designed using static methods which will not capture the true dynamic response resulting in inappropriate designs, undesirable vibration and discomfort to occupants. At present there is no adequate design guidance to address the vibration in these composite floors, due to a lack of research information on their dynamic characteristics, resulting in wasteful post event retrofits
Citations:
Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
