Timber joist floors, being light weight structures and having low natural frequencies, are especially vulnerable towards both structural vibration and sound transition through the structure. Vibrations are a serviceability problem, and of increasing importance as large timer structures become more common. At the same time there is a want for large open spaces and longer spans, which is a challenge for light-weight materials such as glue lam joists. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate current approaches used in design and verification of timer joist floors. Today, no standard method is agreed upon, and several different approaches exist. The current standards investigated in this thesis mainly considers the fundamental frequency a...
