DOI: 10.1061/(asce)cc.1943-5614.0000731
Abstract: AbstractA set of three old suspended timber floors were flexurally strengthened with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips in order to investigate the effectiveness of externally bonding FRP to their soffits. The specimens were from an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/15583058.2017.1341007
Abstract: ABSTRACT The dynamic changes in a traditional layout of a short-span timber floor due to deterioration on supports were investigated experimentally and numerically. The floor was evaluated for its normal situation (undamaged) and for simulated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/13694332221133598
Abstract: Owing to the light weight and high fundamental frequency, timber floors exhibit impulse-like responses under human-induced excitation, which is different with the resonance-like responses for heavy concrete structures. The vibration serviceability of timber floors thus… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/app9183759
Abstract: Vibrations on timber floors are among the most common serviceability problems in social housing projects. The presence of low damping levels on these floors could cause excessive vibrations in a range of frequency and amplitude… read more here.
