Every loom machinery is going to produce vibrations during its operation. We can neither reduce these vibrations nor can we stop their use. Vibrations are transmitted to structure and so we need to design such structure so that the effect of vibration on structure can be minimized and the structure can offer permissible stress and strain. This will result in increasing the sustainability of the structure. The purpose of this research project work is to study and understand the behavior of composite structural system (i.e. combination of load bearing and framed structural system) subjected to vibration of reciprocating type machines like looms.
