Design for Random Response of Structures Subject to Rhythmic Crowd Loading

Overall, this paper provides a comprehensive approach for designing structures subject to rhythmic crowd loading. By considering the randomness of load model and structural response, design method more realistic evaluation structure’s performance. The establishment links between deterministic individual loading random simplifies calculation process makes it practical real-world applications. use reduction factors based on experimentally determined standard deviations ensures that lower bound expected response structure. consideration involvement an infinite number people in adds additional level conservatism design, further ensuring safety examples provided illustrate effectiveness evaluating maximum displacements accelerations floor structure subjected valuable contribution field engineering by providing
