Abstract
Guidance is given on vertical natural frequencies necessary to provide safety and adequate comfort for different categories of use in permanent grandstands in steel, concrete or composite construction of a size considered likely to be significantly affected by dynamic loading due to crowd action. Recommendations are also made for horizontal load resistance. The Guidance highlights that grandstand design and assessment are specialist topics that require the involvement of an engineer with experience in structural dynamics and knowledge of human induced dynamic loading in the context of grandstand design. Deals with both existing and new grandstands.
