Abstract
The objective of this study is to identify an
appropriate FE model for determining the dynamic
characteristics of a long-span flat concrete floor. The
Cardington concrete building was selected for the study
because it represents a popular form of concrete construction.
The natural frequencies of the floors were measured. Several
FE models of the floor are considered and the models are
refined based on the comparison between numerical
predictions and dynamic measurements. It is concluded that a
floor-column model provides the most appropriate
representation of the actual structure.
