Publication Year
2006
Document Status
Current
Abstract
A methodology, based on modal analysis, for predicting the vertical vibration induced by pedestrians crossing structures like floors and bridges, enabling first principles calculations without the need for arbitrary or empirical factors. Explains footfall-induced vibration as well as how to quantify and predict vibration, with worked examples.

The Concrete Centre
The Concrete Centre is the central development organisation for the UK concrete sector and provides material, design and construction guidance. Their aim is to enable all those involved in the design, use and performance of concrete to realise the potential of the material. Funded by 15 major cement and concrete organisations, the Concrete Centre works alongside the British Cement Association, The Concrete Society, and the ready mix and precast concrete industries to ensure an integrated approach from the concrete sector to technical support, research, education, training and information services. The Reinforced Concrete Council and the Ready Mixed Concrete Bureau are now part of The Concrete Centre.
