Profiled composite floors (ribbed concrete slabs on corrugated steel decks) are commonly used in steel framed buildings. However, complicating the dynamic modeling of such floors is their apparent stiffness anisotropy due to the periodically spaced ribs. In this paper, approaches are presented to obtain the effective, flat-plate properties of composite floors to predict floor vibrations for two building case studies. Measured floor vibrations for the case studies are then compared to the models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
