This paper discusses vibration serviceability assessment of cross-laminated timber (CLT) floors induced by human activities, with special emphasis on vibrations induced by walking. In the first part current design criteria for vibration serviceability check of timber and CLT floors were analyzed in line with the more general vibration performance-based approach applicable to any floor structure regardless of the material used. The second part focuses on the ongoing research achievements in the design of vibration resistant CLT floors carried out at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Belgrade. In addition, challenges for future research were formulated as well.
This research was supported by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia on Grant No. 7677448: Towards Sustainable Buildings: Novel Strategies for the Design of Vibration Resistant Cross-Laminated Timber Floors - Substrate4CLT. The author also acknowledges the support of colleagues, members of the Substrate4CLT project team for their collaboration and engaging research discussions.
