Beam spans and spacings

Spacing of primary beams from standard layout; b_prim = L = 15.000 m
Primary beam span; L_prim = Lm = 6.000 m
Spacing of secondary beams from standard layout; b_sec = Lm / (Ns+1) = 3.000 m
Secondary beam span; L_sec = L = 15.000 m
Beam details
Short term composite inertia of primary beam; Igp = 120000 cm4;
Short term composite inertia of secondary beam; Igs = 440000 cm4;
Inertia of the slab per metre width; Islab = 18000 cm4/m;

Estimate of natural frequency

Mode A – Secondary beam mode
Estimated natural frequency for mode shape A;
Mode B – Primary beam mode
Estimated natural frequency for mode shape B;
Estimated fundamental frequency;
Absolute minimum natural frequency
fmodeA = 18 Hz / ((ys + slab)/1mm) = 5.76 Hz
fmodeB = 18 Hz / ((ypys/5 + slab)/1mm) = 9.12 Hz
Mode A - Secondary beam mode;
fsys = min(fmodeA, fmodeB) = 5.76 Hz;
fmin = 3.00 Hz
PASS - Natural frequency exceeds absolute minimum
Floor is classed as a low frequency - less than 7.0Hz

Response Factor
Qualifying conditions (P076 - Table 7.1)
System deflection; sys = (18 Hz / fsys)2  1mm = 9.75 mm
Relative flexibility of the primary beam; RFmainbeam = yp / sys = 0.181

Effective area
Effective length Leff = 15.000 m
Effective width S = 18.360 m
Low frequency floor (P076 section 7.6)

Fourier component factor; Cf = 0.20

Critical Damping Ratio;  = 3.0 %
Response factor; R = 68000  Cf / ((m  Leff  S)  )  1kg = 3.83;
Maximum allowable Response Factor; Rmax = 4.00
PASS - Response Factor is less than maximum allowable
