Abstract: Vibration problems in stadia are becoming more common due to increased structural slenderness and more lively dynamic crowd excitation. Unfortunately, there is very little guidance available to design engineers dealing ...

Abstract: Slender floor structures are becoming increasingly prone to excessive vibration due to human-induced walking excitation. To prevent discomfort of floor occupants and/or malfunctioning of sensitive equipment, it is necessary ...

Abstract: Floor openings and nonstructural full-height partitions are often ignored in both finite-element modeling of long-span office floors and calculations of vertical footfall-induced vibrations, despite quite a few research ...

Abstract: The research into modeling walking-induced dynamic loading and its effects on footbridge structures and people using them has been intensified in the past decade after some high profile vibration serviceability failures. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a unique study on the dynamic identification of the tallest glue-laminated timber frame building in the world using forced vibration tests (FVTs) and long-term ambient vibration tests (AVTs). Because ...
