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: The drive toward innovative designs of structural systems assisted by more efficient materials has resulted in ever more slender spans and lighter weight constructions. This has also been accompanied by the growing trend ...

Abstract: This paper describes the experimental and analytical modal analysis of a full-scale cantilevered grandstand. A 3D finite-element model was successfully updated manually based on the global modes identified from ambient ...
