Dynamic response of composite concrete floors of concrete construction: Dynamic property response of composite concrete floors of concrete constructions under forced harmonic vibrations

Concrete floors always designed against the action of static loads, despite everyday evidence that dynamic loads are also of great importance and therefore there is a growing need for measurement of dynamic parameters like natural frequency and damping ratio of the floor. Structural engineers are nowadays facing a significant challenge related to the development of economical composite concrete floor structures. Composite concrete floor, this new design trend is a considerable increase in the problems related to unwanted floor vibrations. Composite concrete floors have been found to resolve vibration susceptibility. Instrumented hammer test and Instrumented electro-dynamic shaker test of the composite concrete and concrete constructions under forced harmonic vibrations are conducted in this study so as to observe the dynamic responsive characteristics.
