<p class="jove_content">A protocol is presented for the characterization of the in-field pedestrian behavior and the simulation of the resulting structural response. Field-tests demonstrate that the <em>in situ</em> identified pacing rate and synchronization rate among the participants constitute an essential input for the simulation and verification of the human-induced loads.</p>

Simulation of Human-induced Vibrations Based on the Characterized In-field Pedestrian Behavior

For slender and lightweight structures, vibration serviceability is a matter of growing concern, often constituting the critical design requirement. With ...
