Tech Note J200-26: Vibration of Cold-Formed Steel Joist Framed Floors

Summary: Cold-formed steel (CFS) floors are often used in residential and multi-residential applications. As construction trends towards more open areas and optimization of materials, checking for vibration is becoming increasingly important. However, little guidance is available to help the CFS design engineer incorporate vibration considerations into their daily practice. This Technical Note has been developed to introduce the CFS design engineer to key vibration criteria and analysis methods and how they can be used to help ensure well performing floors.

NOTE: This Tech Note is available at no cost to corporate, professional, and student members in the exclusive members-only section.
