Technological advances in the construction sector and innovative lightweight and large span structural layouts in modern building floors increasingly mean that vibration serviceability is the governing design criterion. As this trend continues, excessive vibrations induced by human activities are becoming a significant concern. Prediction of floor vibrations at the design stage is often done using currently available design guidelines, such as AISC Design Guide 11, Concrete Society Technical Report 43 Appendix G, SCI P354, Concrete Centre CCIP-016 and HiVoSS.In this paper, the aforementioned design guidelines are used to predict the vibration responses of a typical office floor, which are then compared with the actual measured responses. It is clear that different guidelines provide different tolerance limits which make the satisfactory/unsatisfactory decision imprecise. The results show that the case-study floor is unsatisfactory according to CSTR43 App G and CCIP-016, whereas it satisfies the requirements of AISC-DG11, SCI P354 and HiVoSS. Nevertheless, the experimental vibration response indicates that there is a perceptible level of vibrations but with no adverse comments. These discrepancies highlight the need for a better prediction techniques and more reliable assessment criteria.
