First study from 1959 — 1962. Second project initiated in 1965. Ten reports issued on‘dynamic response experiments, human response to vibration, dynamic dampers, and field studies. Work resulted in an analysis procedure based on the floor response to a heel-drop impact and subjective evaluation based on the Modified- Reiher-Meister Scale. ad Research at U. of OK and Virginia Tech * U. of Oklahoma research from 1970 to 1987 resulted in development of the Murray Criterion. * Predicts floor acceptability based on response to a heel-drop impact. * Aprocedure for determining the effective number of joists was developed. * 1987-2008 research at Virginia Tech sponsored by Nucor R &D studied effects of joist shear deformation and web eccentricity at chord panel points, which reduces joist flexural stiffness and natural frequencies. * Found that lateral flexibility of joist seats affects stiffness of supporting girders.
