Adhere to the standards set forth in AISC Design Guide 11
AISC Design Guide 11 covers the design of steel framed floor systems and footbridges for vibration
serviceability due to human activities. Both human comfort and the need to
control movement for sensitive equipment are considered. Remedial measures for
problem floors are discussed.
