Abstract:Composite steel and concrete floors are often susceptible to excessive vibrations caused by human activities because of their slender structural elements. To achieve a precise evaluation, it is necessary to incorporate the effects of dynamic loads in the computational model; however, it is difficult to predict this type of load. This study aims to analyze a set of human dynamic load models applied to four composite steel and concrete floors and verify which model can simulate the real load effects by comparing… Show more
