Abstract
The present paper aims to highlight the first findings of the GIVILIF project (Group Induced Vibrations on LIght Floors). The primary purpose of this project is to improve the existing standards around the vibrations of timber floors induced by group activities. It presents the first part of the applied methodology for the subjective and objective evaluation of vibrations. First, a survey among inhabitants was conducted better to understand the vibrational discomfort of existing buildings’ occupants. Then, tests on a shaking table explored the perception of individuals to define thresholds of perception, discomfort and intolerance. It was found that the acceleration graph assures certain conformity with the thresholds offered by the ISO2631 standard concerning offices and residences, purpose of this study.
