- Abstract
- A new approach to the problem of perceptible floor vibrations is presented predicated on the realization that human activity and human response to this activity are random variables. Techniques for data reduction are discussed, and a detailed description of one approach is given along with the associated computer program. Data from floor vibrations are compared with current criteria for human response to vibration.
