Use of vibration criteria in the selection of building systems for nanoscale research facilities

Stringent vibration requirements must be met for laboratories housing sensitive equipment for nanotechnology research.  This paper provides guidance to the designer in the selection of structural systems to limit vibrations to acceptable levels.  Comments are also made on site selection, building planning issues, and cost-effectiveness solutions.  The concepts proposed are illustrated with examples of the […]...

An investigation of dynamic soil-structure interaction as it relates to the design of foundation systems for microelectronics fabrication facilities

In recent years, vibration has become increasingly important as a factor to consider in the design of microelectronics fabrication facilities. As the demand for higher precision tools increases, the importance of vibration control also increases. In fact, at the present time, many aspects of structure/foundation design are controlled by vibration considerations rather than the traditional […]...
