Design criteria for ensuring the vibration serviceability of wood floors.

Authors	Floor type	Details of design criterion
Ohlsson [4]	Wood I-joist floor	The fundamental frequency F1 ≥ 8 Hz; the point load deflection a ≤ 1.5 mm; the impulse velocity response  ≤
Smith and Chui [5]	Wood solid joist floor	The fundamental frequency F1 ≥ 8 Hz; the frequency-weighted root-mean-square acceleration arms ≤0.45 m/s^2
Johnson [6]	Solid sawn joist floor	The fundamental frequency F1 ≥ 15 Hz
Dolan et al. [7]	Wood solid joist floor	The fundamental frequency F1 ≥14 Hz for occupied floors; the fundamental frequency F1 ≥15 Hz for unoccupied floors
Eurocode 5 [9]	Wood joist floor	The floor with the fundamental frequency lower than 8 Hz requires additional checks; in common cases, the fundamental frequency of the floor is required to be great than 8 Hz; and the maximum deflection /F ≤ a; and the unit impulse velocity  ≤
