Evaluation and Calibration of Pedestrian Bridge Standards for Vibration Serviceability
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-14)An increase in the use of lightweight materials and emphasis on architecturally appealing designs has resulted in lively pedestrian bridges. A prominent example for this is the serviceability failure of the London Millenium ... -
Influence of Construction Details on the Vibration Performance of Cold-Formed Steel Floor Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-23)Vibrations associated with lightweight floor systems, as a serviceability criterion, are not well addressed in current residential construction practice. Cold-formed steel floor systems are usually lighter and have less ... -
A Study on Vibration Isolation in a Wind Turbine Subjected to Wind and Seismic Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-30)The primary loading on wind turbines is in the lateral direction and is of a stochastic nature, due to wind and seismic forces. As turbines grow larger, they experience proportionally larger lateral forces. Large forces ...
