Beams that are otherwise satisfactory have occasionally been the cause of annoying floor
vibrations. Particularly sensitive are large open floor areas with long-span beams, free of partitions
and other significant sources of damping, or energy release. To prevent excessive vibration it has
been customary to specify the minimum depth of floor beams as a fraction (e.g., *) of their span.
Another approach is to perform a simplified dynamic analysis. The subject of structural dynamics is
beyond the scope of this text. Information on beam vibrations is available in several published
journal papers. including:
