Too many ambiguous questions where the answer is open to interpretation

I found this course to be very informative. It provided all the basic (and detailed) concepts of designing for vibrations without getting too detailed with numerical results but still indicated how to obtain the end numerical results that dictate what engineers are most interested in.

Good summary of vibration and different types of analysis. Not familiar with Staad but wonder if it is a bit dated.

Excellent course. Had question about question 19. The answer references Table 1 but Table 2 indicates recommended values of 2.0 and 0.75.
Note that question 19, says " for floors with beams that are less than 20 feet long,...." Looking at table 2, for spans less than 20 feet, the table lists fn/ff values of greater than 1.5 or less than 0.8
Only for or spans larger than 20 feet, the table lists values of fn/ff greater than 2 or less than 0.75
Note that for spans 20 feet or less the recommended fn/ff factors of 1.5 and 0.8 result in a magnification factor of around 1.8 for either the low tuning or high tuning
For spans larger than 20 feet, the recommended actor fn/ff of 2 or 0.75 result in a magnification factor of around 1.3 for either low tuning or high tuning.
So in both cases the recommended fn/ff factors have been selected so as result in a similar magnification factor for low or high tuning.

Test worksheet answer letter is different than test login for Question 11
Two of the answers were reversed on the worksheet. It's fixed now. Thanks for alerting us.

The topic was invaluable to what type of projects I work on, mostly industrial sites. The process of how to design properly was presented well and good examples were given.

good course. A lot of practical things I did not know. All the computer input data is only interesting if I own that computer program.

This is a very valuable resource, as a Licensed Structural Engineer involved with equipment mezzanine design, this course is instrumental in designing the structure to minimize vibrations from all kinds of industrial equipment. I highly recommend this course.

Proof Read
The text,drawings, and STADD printout do not always agree. The diagonal floor braces are mentioned three different ways (EX 3).
Email answer from the author did not agree with STADD printout.
More explaination of STADD input and output would be helpful.
The hand calculation examples are fine.
The course is still valuable.

Good all-round course on the basics of vibrations. A little better clarification as to the direction of loads should be applied when using STAAD with the Raleigh method when continuous beam framing is used.

Tougher than most but very informative.
I found this course to be a little tougher than most. Many of the answers required for the test are implicit. Usually courses from vendors are more explicit. However, all of the information is there but you must be thorough.

Agree with previous reviewer's comment - too STAAD-specific. Fine to use STAAD for the examples, but what other programs are available that also do this?
Question #19 not clear - does it refer to Table 1 or Table 2? I based answer on Table 2 for "beams" & was marked as incorrect.

Excellent course content. It answered a number of questions that I always had regarding the theory behind designing support framing for vibrating equipment.
Note: Certificate was downloaded with file extension .pl
Had to physically change to .pdf to open it.

Good, solid course. I thought it focused a little too much on the use of STAAD for a software.
