Human induced vibration of steel structures
Short description
The objective of this project is the dissemination of knowledge gained in two European research projects. The
two research projects deal both with human induced vibration of Steel Structures, a design problem that
becomes more and more relevant as structures are more slender if high strength steels are applied. For the dissemination the conclusions of the research projects - draft guidelines for vibration design of floors
and footbridges - will be merged into one guideline and a accompanying background document for vibration
design. The resulting guideline would be the first European guideline for vibration design of structures.
With presentations and seminars knowledge and guideline spread to designers, consulting engineers and authorities.
