Estudo das vibrações em pavimentos compostos por estruturas mistas de aço e concreto

Abstract

This study deals with vibrations occurring in floors composed of steel beams through a bibliographic review. With the evolution of the structural calculation processes and the upgrading of the constructive techniques, it became more common the execution of structures of pavements more slender, overpassing great spans. But all this technical improvement has resulted in a decrease in the rigidity of the elements, making them susceptible to vibrations from various movements, such as walking, aerobic exercises, dances and sporting events. The main objective of this work is to provide structural engineers and designers simple analysis tools for the proper assessment of pavement excitations, one of the limiting states of use.
