Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research considered the measurement and the evaluation method of habitability to floor vibration (environmental vibration) which occurs by daily life's movement of the person. Specifically, it has the rubber ball that is defined in JIS A 1418-2 applied to the field of environmental vibration. Characteristics of the vibration was the impact vibration.
As a result, it was extracted parameters that affect the vibration sense of the human against impact vibrations, it was possible to propose the evaluation scale. In addition, around the floor slab of RC structure, it was also carried out examination on measurement methods and evaluation methods. The results of this research, it is considered that can contribute significantly to environmental vibration field caused by daily life's movement of the person. It is wishing that proposed the evaluation scale is used effectively.
