Abstract

Abstract In the United States, modern designs of wood floor systems rarely directly account for annoying floor vibration criteria, because it is not a required design criterion in the International Building Code or the International Residential Code. However, adhesives are sometimes used to supplement traditional subfloor fasteners in an effort to improve the floor vibration performance, but they are mainly used to reduce or eliminate homebuilder “callbacks” due to floor squeaks. This article addresses using high performance deformed shank fasteners rather than adhesives to minimize common annoying floor vibration problems.
