Floating Floor

The Walking frequency for the occupancies as recreational and with full partition furnished floor
as:

As per Allen, D.E and Marray, T.M 1993:

  2.86 ln  

K = Occupancy constant = 58 kN
B = Damping factor = 0.05 for the roof
W = Slab Wight in kN = [( 6m x 5m ) x 0.27m] x 2.5 x 9.8 + the dead load = 614.7 kN

 is the natural frequency for the floating floor system with the Eq. as it can be detriment at
the max peak for transmissibility:

Page | 4

The transmissibility (ratio of force transmitted to foundation to the input force), is:

Area 44.57936 m2
Load per area 628.0933598 KG/M2 Less than 978kg/m2
Spring stiffness 2744000 N/M DEFLECTION 25MM
Rubber pad stiffness 36736000 N/M DEFLECTION 0.3''
Eq load 7000 KG
Slab load 21000 KG
Fneq1 3.04 hz Less than 25hz as min chiller vibration freq
Fneq2 6.97 hz Less than 25hz as min chiller vibration freq

The max accepted acceleration for vibration as per ATC,1999; AISC/CISC 1997:

Page | 5

T at typical min ferq. For chiller 25hz.T = 0.014

Po = (2.1+7)*9.8*0.014= 0.384kN
W = 614.7 kN
B = Damping factor = 0.05 for the roof

Fn= 3.24 hz for the panel

ap/g = 0.004 = 0.4%..... ap= 0.0392 m/s2

Fn= 1.92 hz for the one way mode

ap/g = 0.0064 = 0.64%..... ap= 0.06 m/s2

The max accepted RMS vibration speed as per Ashrea = RMS 0.016 in/sec
curve I:

Page | 6

ap/g = 0.004 = 0.4%..... ap= 0.0392 m/s2

So Vibration speed with chiller min vibration 25 hz =  = 2.5 e-4m/s..RMS =



1.765 e-4 m/s =0.0069 in/sec Safe

ap/g = 0.0064 = 0.64%..... ap= 0.06 m/s2

So Vibration speed with chiller min vibration 25 hz =  = 3.8 e-4 m/s..RMS = 2.7


e-4 m/s =0.01 in/sec.Safe
