Abstract
Some flooring-system designs might be sensitive to their vibrational performance, as there might be the risk that serviceability-limit-state problems may be encountered. For evaluating the vibrational performance of the flooring-system at the design stage, decisions need to be made by the engineer in charge of computations. On a flooring-system often passive humans and/or furniture are present. Often these masses and their way of interacting with the floor mass are ignored in predictions of vibrational behavior of the flooring-system. The paper explores and quantifies how these masses can influence central parameters describing the dynamic behavior of the flooring-system.
