Abstract

A research project at the Technical University of Munich deals with the vibrations of timber floors. Measurements at real buildings (about 50 buildings and 100 floors) and in the laboratory have been carried out. The results (frequency, deflection, acceleration and velocity) have been compared and assigned to the subjective evaluation. The final results are rules and suggestions how to construct a timber floor in two different categories: A floor with lower demands, for example within a single-family house, or a floor with higher demands, for example in an apartment building or office building or another floor separating different users.
