Vibration serviceability is a major concern in the design of lighter floor systems of newer buildings. Floor vibrations due to walking and rhythmic movements of the occupants should not exceed threshold levels for the comfort of occupants and the protection of sensitive equipment in the buildings. The objective of this study is to evaluate the floor vibration problem reported in a six-story reinforced concrete with two basement floors office building. First, structural system dynamic properties of the building were identified using its available ambient vibration records. The finite element model of the building was developed and calibrated to match the identified natural vibration frequencies. Then, the vibration records of the floors at which the problem was reported were analyzed to examine if threshold levels stipulated in design codes had been exceed. Finally, finite element simulations and the in-situ floor vibration data for the floor response due to walking of the occupants were compared with the threshold levels recommended in the AISC Floor Vibrations Due to Human Activity.

Experimental evaluation of the in-plane behaviour of masonry wall infilled RC frames
Suzuki, Tomomi; Choi, Ho; Sanada, Yasushi; Nakano, Yoshiaki; Matsukawa, Kazuto; Paul, Devjyoti; Gulkan, Polat; Binici, Barış (2017-10-01)
This study focuses on the in-plane behaviour of unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls installed in reinforced concrete (RC) frames. Five 1/4-scale model frames were designed based on a prototype RC building with URM infill walls in Turkey. The experimental parameters were the layout of the URM infill (its presence or absence), number of spans (single or double), number of stories (single or double), and stacking pattern of the URM infill (horizontal or vertical). Static cyclic loading tests were conducted...
Modelling of strengthened hollow brick infills
BARAN, MEHMET; Ozcelik, Ramazan; Sevil, Tugce; Canbay, Erdem (2013-02-01)
Strengthening the existing hollow brick infill walls by bonding high-strength precast concrete panels or applying steel fibre reinforced mortar was found to be an occupant-friendly seismic retrofitting technique for the buildings in use with deficient reinforced concrete structural systems. Both techniques convert the existing non-structural hollow brick infill walls into load-carrying structural members. To verify the effectiveness of the techniques, 20 reinforced concrete frames with hollow brick infill w...
FORCED AND AMBIENT VIBRATION TESTS OF A SIX-STORY PRECAST CONCRETE BUILDING
Çelik, Ozan Cem (2017-05-12)
This paper presents a sequence of forced and ambient vibration tests performed on a six-story precast concrete building prior to any non-structural elements in place. The building is 20.2 m tall and 53.2 m by 15.8 m in plan. In forced vibration testing, the building is excited along its short and long axes, respectively, by a fifth-floor level vibration generator with a known sinusoidal force. Sweeping the vibration generator frequency from 0.5 to 9.5 Hz, structural vibrations are recorded by a dense networ...
EVALUATION OF DISPLACEMENT AMPLIFICATION FACTORS FOR STEEL BUCKLING RESTRAINED BRACED FRAMES
Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakir; Ozkilic, Yasin Onuralp; Topkaya, Cem (2016-12-09)
In the United States, design of buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) is conducted using the recommendations given in the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC341-10) and Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-10). In this study, deflection amplification factor given in ASCE7-10 for BRBFs was evaluated. Pursuant to this goal. three archetypes composed of single diagonal BRBFs were designed. The archetypes represent designs in high seismic regions which are defi...
Effect of AAC Infill Walls on Structural System Dynamics of a Concrete Building
Çelik, Ozan Cem (2016-01-01)
The effect of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) infill walls on the structural system dynamics of a two-story reinforced concrete building is investigated using its finite element structural model, which is calibrated to simulate the acceleration-frequency response curves from its forced vibration test. The model incorporating the AAC infill walls by equivalent diagonal struts captures the increase in lateral stiffness of the building and the torsional motions induced due to the asymmetrically placed AAC in...
