A major problem in light-weight timber floors is their insufficient performance coping with impact noise in low frequencies. There are no prefabricated solutions available in Australia and New Zealand. To rectify this and enable the implementation of lig...
The advantages of the two different building construction materials, timber and concrete, can be used effectively in adhesive-bonded timber-concrete composite constructions. The long-term behavior was investigated experimentally on small-scale...
The paper deals with a numerical analysis of timber-concrete ceiling. The finite element method is used for the analysis. The calculation takes into account a dynamic effect of load. The structure creates the ceiling of the gymnasium. The goal of the paper is a study of ceiling eigenfrequencies and a maximum response to a harmonic excitation...

Summary
Vibrations induced by people walking is one of the most important issue in timber floor design. Low natural frequency and low mass require a careful analysis in order to prevent significant annoyance and to guarantee an acceptable human comfort. This pap...
