Using MSD Model to Simulate Human-Structure Interaction During Walking

2013
Increasing vibration serviceability problems of modern pedestrian structures have drawn researchers’ attention to detailed modelling and assessment of walking-induced vibration on floors and footbridges. Stochastic nature of human walking and unknown mechanisms of their interaction with the structure and surrounding environment, make it difficult to ...

Human–structure dynamic interaction in footbridges

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Bridge Engineering, 2005
Dynamic load induced in the vertical direction by a single person walking across a footbridge structure is usually modelled as a resonant harmonic force. A comparison between modal responses generated by this harmonic force and a walking force measured on a treadmill confirmed that using the harmonic force is justifiable in the case of walking across ...

Some Implications of Human-Structure Interaction

2013
On structures, humans may be active which may cause structural vibrations as human activity can excite structural vibration modes. However, humans may also be passive (sitting or standing on the structure). The paper addresses this subject and explores the implications of having passive humans present on the structure.

Human-structure interaction: Standing people subjected to vertical structural vibration

2016
Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) for the vertical acceleration of a flexible single degree-of-freedom test rig with a standing body have been measured with sweeping harmonic vibration at frequencies between 2.7 Hz and 14 Hz. 18 subjects (6 female and 12 male) participated in the experiment. The two resonance frequencies of the human-structure system

Study of Human-Structure Dynamic Interactions

Structural engineers usually consider the building occupants as added weight (or mass). Even though this may be a reasonable assumption for the static analysis and design of structures, it can result in discrepancies between the predicted and measured dynamic responses of a structure.

Study on Dynamic Responses of Human-Structure Interaction System

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
t has previously been shown that human-structure dynamic system received much attention as a major topic in the serviceability performance and safety problems. In this study, the structure occupied by human are considered as a two degrees-of-freedom system.

Human-structure Interaction and Implications

2016
On civil engineering structures human occupancy is often modeled as a static load. Modeling humans as a static load is a simplification of matters, as will be demonstrated in the paper. The paper addresses the complexity of having both passive humans (sitting or standing) as well as active humans on a structure when evaluating the serviceability limit ...
