Abstract:This work aims the assessment of the dynamic structural response of reinforced concrete floors subjected to rhythmic human activities, based on the use of biodynamic models, in order to consider the people-structure interaction effect. Initially, an experimental modal analysis on the investigated floor , with dimensions of 16m x 35m, was performed, in order to identify and assess the global dynamic behaviour of the structure. In sequence, a finite element model was developed and calibrated through experimental… Show more
