Development and Application of Simplified Methods for Analysis of Floors under Human-induced Vibrations
This study presents a simplified model for vibration assessment of floors under walking load. The model is developed by converting the floor system into an equivalent SDOF model using transformation factors and applying simplified forcing functions to simulate the walking. The accuracy of the …

Modelling of crowd-induced vibrations in stadium terraces
Human-induced vibrations are increasingly becoming an issue of great concern in the design of civil engineering structures. In this research work, three major trends that contribute to the prevalence of human-induced vibrations in public structures were identified. While the focus has been mainly …

Methods to improve the vibration characteristics of joist supported floor systems
… these floor systems are more susceptible to human-induced vibrations which may be annoying to the occupants of the structure. The purpose of this investigation was to develop methods of improving the vibration characteristics of joist-supported floor systems. The frequency and first maximum …

Statistical analysis of the vertical human walking forces and human structural interaction effects
… Such structures are susceptible to excessive vibrations due to human activities, for example, walking, which is the most frequent human activity. Due to the slender design, modern structures provide a greater likelihood to have low natural frequencies. Low natural frequencies can result in …
