This thesis covers research in the floor vibration field. Although lightweight steel framed constructions have been in focus, many results are applicable to floors in common and to some extent also to vibrations in general. Whether a floor is treated as "good" or "bad" by the occupants is an interaction of a) the dynamic properties of the floor and of b) human vibration perception. Both these factors are covered. Two steel framed floors were tested in laboratory condition with respect to its dynamic. Modal testing was used to obtain the modal parameters, i.e. natural frequencies, damping and mode shapes. Both floors were tested for numerous set-ups where for example the effect of different supports, top layers, ceiling joists and simulated ...
