Vibration in columns
Vibration in columns
(OP)
I have been doing some reading on machinically induced vibrations on a structure. It seems that all the authors address the forced vibrations in regards to beam/girder design but no one that I have read so far addresses the effects the vibrating loads have on structural columns. It is hard for me to belive that the effects of vibration which can cause a beam that needs to be a W12 for strength capacity to become a W36 for vibration has no effect on the columns. Are we to assume that columns are exempt from the effects of vibrating loads?

If you have a case where column vibration does become a design issue, remember, the stiffer, the better.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
