Vibrational Response of Solid RC Slab System Under Synchronized Multiperson Walking Excitation
Solid reinforced concrete (RC) floor systems have become susceptible to vibration from walking‐induced excitation due to the lightweight characteristics of concrete. This reduces the serviceability of the building in terms of occupant discomfort, adaptability to dynamic load, durability issues resulting from undesirable cracking, and service life.
