P. To generate a floor vibration report

To generate a floor vibration report per the procedures of Chapters 3 and 4 of the AISC Steel Design Guide Series No. 11, use the following procedure.

Floor vibration reports are performed for composite decks only. You must define and run an analysis for a composite deck structure in order to generate a floor vibration report.

On the Results ribbon tab, select the Reports > Floor Vibration Report tool in the Reports group.

The Floor Vibration Report dialog opens.
Select the composite deck name from the Select drop-down list and then select the Load Case.
Either:
- select the closest description for the type of building in the Bldg Type drop-down list in order to select a predefined Beta value
- type the Beta value directly
Click Check.
The results of the vibration check are displayed.

Note: The comparison check is the Acceleration versus the Allowed Acceleration in the Check for Combined Mode section.
Optional: Click Print and then select the printer to which you want to send the copy.

Note: Floor vibration reports must be output from this dialog. They cannot be included in the STAAD.Pro report.
