Our online module determines the vibration frequency, also known as the natural frequency, of your new mezzanine floor. This allows us to design lighter, safer, and more cost-efficient structures. All in accordance with the relevant global standards. Read on to find out what this means for you.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3D calculation program for calculating vibration<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Almacon recently started working with a new 3D calculation program for calculating earthquake-resistant structures. For steel structures, this allows us to accurately calculate the natural frequency (vibration) of mezzanine floors.

Sometimes a floor can move \u201cin time\u201d with what is happening on top of it, such as walking, running, or the use of machines. Every floor has its own natural frequency. This refers to how often it naturally vibrates\/moves per second. If the rhythm on the floor, for example due to footsteps, is approximately equal to this natural frequency, the vibration amplifies itself. The floor then noticeably moves back and forth.<br \/><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What are we doing with the new 3D calculation program?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We calculate the natural frequency (in Hertz) of your floor.<\/li>\n<li>We adjust the design, for example thickness and girder spacing, so that the natural frequency falls outside the rhythm of normal use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In practical terms, this means that the floor cannot move out of place. So no stacking movement and no annoying wobbling. We ensure that your floor is not susceptible to this.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Training courses<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We receive weekly training updates from the supplier of the module. This allows our engineers to follow targeted training courses and ensures that we remain demonstrably up to date with the latest functionalities and relevant changes to standards.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<br \/><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In short, with our new 3D calculation program, we clearly visualize the dynamic behavior of mezzanine floors, including natural frequency. You receive a substantiated design that can be made lighter, remains safe, and complies with the applicable standards.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Questions about floor vibrations or a mezzanine in preparation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Please feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/almacon.nl\/en\/contact\/\">contact<\/a> us.
