Upcoming Webinar -- Floor Vibrations in Buildings: From Modern Designs to Adaptive Reuse

Floor vibration concerns in buildings can range from occupant annoyance to disruptions in the operation of sensitive equipment. These issues are becoming more common, especially when office layouts are converted to higher-density configurations, in adaptive reuse projects converting buildings into medical facilities, and in modern designs that incorporate longer spans. Determining whether a structure meets appropriate vibration performance criteria, who is responsible for resolving issues when they arise, and how to implement effective mitigation strategies can be complex.
In this complimentary one-hour webinar, engineers Mohamed ElBatanouny, Christine Freisinger, and Richard Lindenberg will provide a practical overview of floor vibration issues in buildings, focusing on how to evaluate and improve performance to meet a variety of occupancy and equipment needs.
By the end of the webinar, you will be able to:
- Describe relevant industry guidance and standards for floor vibrations
- Explain potential impact concerns of vibrations on humans and building contents, such as sensitive equipment
- Identify investigation techniques used to evaluate vibration issues both in the field and using analytical methods
- Explore different mitigation methods used to address problematic floors depending on the magnitude of the problem
There will be plenty of time for your questions during the presentation. Attendees are eligible for one American Institute of Architects (AIA) HSW Learning Unit.
