Influence of stiffness of between-joists bracing on vibrational serviceability of wood floors.

Conference Proceeding
Khokhar, A., Chui, Y., & Smith, I. (2012)
Influence of stiffness of between-joists bracing on vibrational serviceability of wood floors. In P. Quenneville (Ed.), Proceedings of World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2012), 362-369
Floors with repetitive parallel wood joists overlain by wood panel sheathing behave as orthotropic two-way structures since their along-joist stiffness is much higher than acr...
