    The document discusses the vibrational performance of adhesive-free engineered wood products (AF EWPs) like beams and cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels based on experimental testing and numerical simulations. It finds that: 1) The first natural frequencies of AF CLT panels and dowelled oak beams tested were above the 8Hz limit in Eurocode 5 and comparable to traditional glued structures. 2) Numerical models showed AF CLT floors would meet Eurocode 5 requirements for limiting deflection, vibration velocity, and frequency. 3) Testing demonstrated AF dowelled timber beams have vibration properties similar to traditional glued beams.

    Technical Note 6 – Vibration

    One of a series of short briefings on timber technology produced by the towards


    Adhesive-Free Timber Buildings (AFTB) research project. The project is co-funded by
    Interreg NWE, 2016-2020. This note explains the behaviour of the Adhesive Free (AF)
    EWPs (beams and panels) when subjected to vibrational forces.

    The study of the behaviour of Adhesive Free Engineered


    Wood Products (AF EWPs) includes the investigation of the
    serviceability limit state with regard to the vibrational
    performance of those structural products. This is done by
    following the European standards described in the
    Eurocode 5.

    Eurocode 5 main design requirements

    Fundamental first frequency

    The value of 8Hz is set by the Eurocode 5 as being the


    lower limit natural frequency that floors can have to avoid
    poor vibrational comfort due to footsteps. Left: Largest AF panel tested by researchers at the University of Lorraine.
    Right: Numerical simulation of full-scale AF floor.
    The first frequency of a given structural element (beam or
    panel) is mainly depending on its span L [m], the bending Adhesive Free Timber panels
    stiffness (EI)L [Nm²/m] and the mass m [kg].
    The numerical model was used to simulate the vibration
    Deflection under unit load behaviour of a full-scale AF CLT panel.

    The displacement caused by a static unit point load should Dimension of the panel : 4,5 m x 5,5 m x 0,175 m (5 plies)
    be limited by a parameter a [mm/kN], to ensure that the Wood species : Spruce (Picea) and Oak (Quercus robur)
    bending stiffness is appropriate and acceptable.
    Spruce Oak Eurocode 5
    Velocity under a unit impulse floor floor requirements

    1st frequency f1 13,1 Hz 11 Hz > 8 Hz


    This dynamic criterion limits the magnitude of the transient
    response due to the heel impact of a footstep that Unit deflection (a) 0,92 0,82 0,5 – 4 mm/kN
    generates higher frequency components. It is translated to
    the limitation of the vertical floor vibration velocity v [m/s] Parameter (b) 131 137 50 – 150
    to a combination between a parameter b, the fundamental Unit impulse velocity v 0,009 0,006 ≤ 0,012 m/Ns²
    frequency f1 [Hz] and its modal damping ratio ζ.

    The parameters a and b are presented in the figure below Adhesive Free Timber beams
    with recommended range of limiting values and the
    recommended relationship between the parameters. The three first frequencies of both glued and dowelled
    three-layer oak beams have been assessed experimentally
    and compared.

    Dimension of the beam : 1,45 m x 0,07 m x 0,0675 m (3 layers)


    Wood species : Oak (Quercus robur)
    1 → better performance

    2 → poor performance
    Glued beam Adhesive free beam

    1st frequency f1 140,0 Hz 137,7 Hz

    2nd frequency f2 363,3 Hz 332,5 Hz

    3rd frequency f3 677,0 Hz 588,3 Hz


    According to Eurocode 5, these three requirements should
    be satisfied in order to verify the serviceability limit state of Conclusion
    vibration.
    The research demonstrates that the vibration properties of
    Serviceability limit state of AF EWPs adhesive free, dowelled timber beams are comparable with
    their glulam counterparts and in line with Eurocode 5
    The University of Lorraine used the results of experimental requirements. For AF CLT floors, numerical simulations
    tests on vibrational performance of AF CLT panels in order based on experimental evidence predict that these too will
    to validate the developed numerical model, which in turn have acceptable vibrational performance.
    was used to predict the vibrational characteristics of more
    complex AF CLT floors.
