I am working with Austrailian/New Zealand codes. (AS/NZS 1170). the vibrations come under the serviceablilty requirements. If you see the table attached we use 3kN superimposed load for the design check which reduced by 0.5times for the service check for the beam vibrations. AS/NZS 1170 says that minimum 1kN load should be checked for vibration with 1 to 2mm deflection under the point load but we use 1.5kN minimum. have a read on the attached as they are self explainatory.

FEMA P-2012/2018 Assessing Seismic Performance of Buildings with Configuration Irregularities is now available. Thanks. FEMA_P-2012_508.pdf Source: https://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/1551300980344-8e2d825576db50c85ea48448ede5bd90/FEMA_P-2012_508.pdf

Hello everyone and warm greetings, My name is Usman, i am really excited to join this forum and looking forward for positive discussions and contribution to this forum.I am really glad and thankful to the moderator for creating this forum,i have already found this forum very beneficial and useful. I did my bachelors in Civil Engg. from Sir Syed University of Engg. & Technology, Karachi in Dec'2017 and then worked for different Architects as an independent Structural Engineer, i am still learning and gaining knowledge from my experience, recently i have started my journey for Masters to broaden my horizons in this field ,i am currently enrolled in Bauhaus Universitat,Weimar.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Usman, Good to see you here. Just to let you know i have done my masters from Bauhaus and its a great institute. Donot miss the summer school as lots of engineers from around the world come and share there knowledge and experience in seismic design and perfromance based design. Gud luck
