Composite steelfloordecksareusedinalargevarietyofconstructionswithlongspans, such asadministrationandcommercialbuildings,hotelsandbridges.Duetodecreasedfloormass and longerspanlengths,floorvibrationshavebecomeanareaofconcern.Floordeckswithlow frequencies maybeinresonancewiththevibrationsduetohumanactivitiesandtheresultingaccel- eration mayexceedhumancomfortlevels.Thedesignofslenderfloorstructures,withsteelorcom- posite crosssections,isoftenlimitedbytheserviceabilitycriteriasuchasdeflectionlimitsand vibration behavior,ratherthanthestrengthcriteria.ControlofdeflectionsunderAISCspecifica- tions requirementisnotenoughtosatisfytheserviceabilityrequirementsofthefloorsystemsfor vibration.
