Description
Summary:This paper describe the performance of Profiled steel sheet dry board panel system (PSSDB) against flexural and vibration. The PSSDB panel was consisting of plywood attached to the top layer of profiled steel sheet by self-drilling, self-tapping screw connector. PSSDB system has been widely used as flooring system in construction nowadays. As a flooring system, human induced vibration are becoming increasingly vital serviceability and safety issues. Therefore, factors and effects of vibration is very important to be evaluated in a building. This paper will be focusing on theoretical and experimental procedures to determine the overall performance of PSSDB system due to flexural and vibration. Each parameter that effecting the performance of PSSDB system against vibration and flexural will be discussed subsequently in this paper. It is shown that PSSDB system obtained natural frequency above 8Hz for a practical span length and hence, will be comfortable for occupants of building in terms of vibration.
